Is this a physical book?
No. It's a digital journal you download right after checkout: a printable PDF in US Letter and A4, plus a fillable version to answer on a tablet or computer. Nothing is shipped, so you can give it today.
How do I turn it into a book?
Print it at home or at any copy shop and put it in a binder, a folder or have it spiral bound for a few dollars. You can also print one chapter at a time so it never feels like too much for him.
My dad isn't a writer. Will he really fill it in?
That's exactly who it's for. Every question is short and specific, so he only has to remember, not write an essay. If he'd rather talk, ask the questions yourself and write or record his answers.
He lives far away. Does it still work?
Yes. Email him the fillable version, mail him the printed pages, or read him a few questions on every call. The Record His Voice guide shows you how to save his answers on your phone.
Can I use it for my grandpa, stepdad or husband?
Of course. The questions work for any father figure. Many wives give it to their husbands so the kids have their dad's story one day.
Can I print more than one copy?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your own family, for example one for your dad and one for your father-in-law.
How fast do I get it?
Right away. You'll get an email with your download link a minute after checkout, so it works even as a last-minute gift.
Can't I just find questions like these free online?
You can find lists, sure. What you won't find is 250 questions ordered so they start easy and go deeper, laid out with room to answer, ready to print and give as a gift tonight. That order is what gets a quiet dad to keep going.
How long does it take him to finish?
There's no deadline. Some dads finish in a month, others answer a few questions a week for a year. Every page he fills in is already a page you keep.
What if some questions are too personal?
He can skip any question he likes. The hard-times chapter is there for when he's ready, and many dads come back to it later.
Is it only for older dads?
No. It works for a dad of any age. The sooner he starts, the more details he still remembers.
What if I don't like it?
You have 7 days to ask for a full refund. Just write to us and we'll return 100% of your money, no questions asked.
