about this piece
A retirement guest book that leaves the office with the person it celebrates. “Happy Retirement”, their name and their years of service are engraved on the wooden cover; colleagues add an instant photo and a few words on the blank pages at the party. Made to order in our family workshop, in the wood, paper and binding colors you choose.
Personalize it in the builder
Choose your Book Size, then the Wood Color, the Paper (sheet count and color), the Binding Color of the vegan leather spine and the Screw Color. Type the Text line the way it should read on the cover, for example “CHRIS ROBERTS”, and the Date, for example “1999 - 2025”. “Happy Retirement” stays as pictured. We engrave exactly what you type, nothing added and nothing removed, so please read your entries twice. Add signing markers (black or gold) if you need them, and use Additional Notes for layout wishes or to ask for a digital proof.
Included, shipping and care
You receive the personalized book with the paper you chose; photos, cameras, pens and the styling in the pictures are not included unless you add markers in the builder. Every book is made to order in 1–3 business days, ships with free express shipping and is delivered in about 3–4 business days. Keep it away from damp and direct sun, wipe the covers with a soft dry cloth, and let marker ink dry before you close the book.
Wood is a natural material: grain and tone vary a little from board to board, so the swatches and photos are a close guide, not an exact match.
