Special memory
I ordered a fiction book to my mom and she was blown away from the idea and creative writing! It's such a special gift, love that.
Brilliant gift idea
The book creation process was very simple and straight forward, shipping time were as promised and the book itself exceeded mine and my wife's expectations! She loved this birthday gift and she is showing it to everyone since she got it two weeks ago.
Excellent customer service and book!
The book arrived and I saw a misprint of my son's name. I contacted Be The Book and Mike quickly responded that in my answers to the question I misspelled it, but would print another copy and send to me right away at no cost. Such a nice person and great customer service.

Personalised book FAQs
Everything you need to know before creating your book.
How does Be The Book work?
Choose a funny novel or a heartfelt tribute book, answer a few questions about the person, and upload their photo. Our AI writes an original story around their name, personality, and real-life details. Pick the book idea you like, preview it, choose paperback or hardback, and place your order.
Do you make personalised books for adults, not just kids?
Yes. Be The Book only makes personalised books for adults. Every book is a full 240-page novel or tribute written for a grown-up recipient, not a short illustrated kids' storybook.
Is the book written by AI?
Yes. Our AI writes a new story from your answers, built around the person's name, personality, and real-life details. It is not a fixed template with their name dropped in, so every book is one of a kind.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. Before you pay, you see the book's title, its front and back cover with their photo, and a preview of the table of contents.
How long does it take to get the book?
After you place your order, the printed book typically arrives in 7 to 14 business days with standard delivery, which is free. Faster delivery is available at checkout.
What is the size of the book?
Every book is 6 × 9 inches, the standard size for a novel, and 240 pages long. Choose paperback or hardback.
Is there customer support if I need help?
Yes. Email us at hi@bethebook.co and we'll help with anything about your book or your order.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with your book, email hi@bethebook.co with your order number within 30 days of receiving it to start a return.
