Common questions
What do I write in a retirement book for a coworker?
Start with the line or habit people will remember, then one story only the team knows. Those answers carry most of the book, and the dedication page is where the office signs off.
Can we give it at the leaving party?
Yes. Count back from the party using the production and shipping times on this page, or choose the digital edition, which opens the day you approve it.
Does it work for someone we only know from work?
Yes, because every question is about their working life. Nothing asks about their family, so colleagues can answer all of it.
