What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

An Uncommon Goods bestseller since we introduced it in 2014, this gift is now better than ever in a new premium edition. Celebrate someone special—and their big day—with a library-bound collection of New York Times front pages from each year since their birth, personalized with their name and birthdate on the cover. A meaningful gift whether they're hitting a milestone birthday, celebrating a personally significant number of years, or simply excited for another trip around the sun.

  • Our new premium edition features:
      • A handsome cover in a refined design of pebbled vegan leather.
      • High-quality paper with elegant gray borders.
      • A new size of 10.5" x 13.25" that easily fits into a bookcase, but still has a coffee table–book look and feel.
      • Opening pages with an in-depth history of The New York Times.
  • Make the gift truly unforgettable by personalizing the cover with your recipient's name and birthdate in embossed foil.
  • Choose any date from 1984 or earlier — the book requires a minimum of 40 pages.
  • Complete the set and enhance the reader's experience by selecting the optional magnifying glass.
  • Made in Vermont.

Notes

Please note: These pages are not standard newspaper dimensions, therefore, the type is shrunk slightly to fit a more convenient, book-sized trim. Certain years/pages are reprinted from microfilm and font size may be reduced. Missing pages may be the result of a newspaper strike or a lack of relevant information on the front page for that date.
