Do you really print EVERY headline, from every birthday?

Yes, with a few caveats: If you want the book to include this year's birthday headline, you'll need to order the birthday newspaper book 30 days (or more) after your chosen date. Due to things like strikes and public holidays, sometimes a newspaper was simply not printed on a specific day. If your chosen date falls on any of these, we’ll use front pages from the following days. Papers are also occasionally withdrawn for legal reasons. If you're ordering for a birthday after 1998, your birthday newspaper book will include 25 historical newspaper front pages, each followed by a blank scrapbook page. Handy for scribbling down stories and memories and attaching old photos.
