Everything in your boxes belongs in the book.
No sorting, no retyping, no scanning weekends. The Bindery agent reads it all and finds the story.
From boxes to bound book in four steps.
Nobody inherits a folder.
Your grandchildren won't scroll your research — they'll read the book with their name in it.
Have them tell it. Or write it yourself.
Some chapters are in no record at all — only in the memory of someone you can still ask.
Their life story, as a gift
$99 · their hardcover includedFor a parent or grandparent who remembers what no record holds. Claude interviews them one question at a time — typed or spoken — and writes each chapter in their own words, nothing invented. Their hardcover is already paid for.
See the life-story giftYour family history, in hardcover
$299 · one payment, nothing renewsFor the family historian writing it yourself: 90 days of Claude’s best models, AI credits that never expire and the print-ready files — and your first hardcover, printed and shipped to your door (up to €55 of printing and standard shipping, paid).
Choose “My book in hardcover”Questions, answered.
Yes — that is the case it was built for. Upload letters, scans, photos, record transcriptions, exported trees, and half-finished drafts; the Bindery agent reads everything, finds the story, and organizes generations into chapters. Our featured author brought 25 years of genealogy research and finished a 273-page saga in a day.
The book is built from your material and your answers, not guesses. The agent interviews you about gaps instead of filling them in, you review every chapter, and nothing is published unless you choose to publish it.
Photos and scans go straight into the book as printed plates. Voice memos and recorded interviews are transcribed automatically, so a grandparent telling a story can become a chapter in their own words.
Most family histories go from uploaded research to a finished, typeset book in a focused day or a weekend. Printed hardcovers typically arrive one to three weeks after ordering, depending on the country and the shipping — not another decade of “someday.”
Yes. Order real hardcovers and paperbacks, shipped worldwide — one for every branch of the family, a reunion, or an anniversary. You can reprint any time; the book stays yours forever.
You do — completely. Keep it private as a family heirloom or publish it to the Infinite Library; either way the manuscript and every printed copy are 100% yours.
Starting is free with no card required, and you pay per printed copy, with the full printing-and-shipping quote shown before you pay — no subscription needed to print family copies. Prefer one price for the whole book? “My book in hardcover” is $299, one payment: 90 days of Claude’s best models, the print-ready files, and your first hardcover printed and shipped. And for a parent or grandparent to tell their own story, the life-story gift is $99, their hardcover included.
The research is done.
Twenty-five years is long enough. Start tonight; hold the book this month.
