 BEST PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 25, 2008
My former father-in-law is always sending me e-mails with stories of his childhood, his married life, growing up, as a working adult, etc. His stories are incredible. He is 70 years old and a difficult man to buy a present for. I found this book, was originally hesitant to spend so much $40.00 for a book I hadn't seen before. But I took a chance and it exceeded my expetations beyond imaginable. The book is VERY nice, gold lined pages, thick book and very thorough. I could hardly wait to give it to him. I inscribed a personal message in the front of the book and the book brought tears to my father-in-law's eyes. He is amazed and excited to begin filling it with his stories, memories. This is a great gift for the right person....you won't be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!
 Great Gift! June 8, 2008
I bought this as a retirement gift for my mother-in-law. Much bigger book than I thought - it will take a lifetime to fill out, but it is a wonderful gift to leave for generations to come.
great book February 26, 2008
A great book. Thorough prompts for any writer or non-writer. A jumping off point to something truly wonderful or a stand-alone journal for keepsakes. Loved the book. Gave it to my mother on my wedding day. Thank You!
Story of a Lifetime February 17, 2008
I bought this book years ago for my parents. My Mom is now 90 and in a dementia home, but my Dad is 88 and still going strong. He finally got time to start on the book. He took out all the pages, and 3 ring-punched them so he could put each page in his typewriter to respond to the questions and then I added old photos from his Dad's scrapbook and also ones from their old photo albums. Some of the questions are repetitious and those pages, we did not use. When he only had a short answer to type, I attached a photo that went with the answer. It's taken us months to complete but he loved working on it and everyone wants a copy. At the end, I added our own section where everyone in the family submitted their own question to him and included a photo of themselves for their personalized page in the book. I highly recommend getting all parents to make such a wonderful keepsake!

We gave this to my mother in law as a gift. It is a beautiful book, and seems to have an extensive amount of ideas to help prompt her in telling her story.
