What to know when you are buying for a nephew
Read the cover and chapter one free - you only pay if it looks like them.
For a nephew the competition is a shelf of things that light up, and the way to win is not to compete on noise. A book where he is drawn as the hero is the one gift in the pile that no other relative could have given, and it is still there when the batteries have gone. Older nephews are the sceptical ones - by seven they have seen books with their name typed in and were unimpressed - so the fact that the illustrations are generated from his actual photo is the part worth mentioning when he opens it.
A dedication in your voice
For my nephew, the bravest one in the family. Your uncle
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If he is six or older, tell him the pictures were made from his own photo. That is the detail that turns a polite thank-you into him actually reading it.

What makes a personalized book a good gift for a nephew?
It is the one gift that cannot be duplicated: your nephew is the named, illustrated hero on every page, drawn from a photo you choose. That is also why it survives the shelf - it is a record of who they were at this age, not another toy.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. You get the cover and the whole of chapter one free, with your nephew's face already drawn in. You only pay if it genuinely looks like them.
How long does it take?
The digital book is ready in minutes. A printed keepsake is made to order - the delivery page carries the current cut-off dates for each market.
What photo works best?
One clear, well-lit, forward-facing photo. A beautiful side-on shot produces a weaker likeness than a plain one taken straight on, because the illustrator works from the face it can actually see.
