What if you could personalize a book so that you or someone you love is the star of that book? Now you can, with RealBooks To-Go^SM. RealBooks is collaborating with creative authors who would like to offer you an opportunity to have a personalized version of unique book keepsakes.

RealBooks™ takes your digital photos and uses them to illustrate a custom, personalized bookstore-quality hardbound book that will last for generations. For all books, the cover will be personalized, for others, it will also carry into the book’s content.

Currently, we have two special RealBooks To- Go:

Memories Made in the Kitchen ($39)
    112 pages, including colorfully illustrated, easy recipes especially created for kids
    Journal pages with each recipe to capture memories as they happen
    Heavy coated paper and a laminated cover ensure that this book will be treasured for years to come.

How it works...

You provide:

1.     Two photos, one for the front cover and one for the back dedication.*
2.     The child's name for the front cover and spine of the book.
3.     Dedication text for the back cover of the book.**

* Back cover photo can include your text built in as a one-piece portrait format scrap page at 300 dpi, or you may provide your text and photo separately and we will put them together like the example above.

** If you wish to have a special font used for your dedication, it must be made into a custom scrap page and provided to us as an 8x10.5" or 8.5x11" 300 dpi PDF or JPG image.

You can either email your files to us or send your photos on a CD. Either way, your new Memories Made in the Kitchen RealBook™ hardbound cookbook will be on its way within days after we receive your images on our system.
