How to Personalise A Book From Your Year

Select your year of choice and then personalise with the name of recipient and a message. And hey, we won't judge if you're buying it for yourself! A simple message of "To me, from me" works just as well.

Your text will appear exactly as you have entered it, so please double-check spelling, punctuation and capitalisation.

We can only support standard characters, and cannot support:

 ÂÁÉÍÓÚÜÑ ?;:,.!-& âáéíóúüñ<>”@

Please note, our range of personalised annuals are reproduced from high-quality scans of historical comics. Depending on the condition of the original we scanned, the resulting annual might have some unavoidable imperfections – a sign of their authenticity!

A Fun Alternative to a Birthday Newspaper

Newspapers from the day you were born have been a popular gift for many years, but we've done the hard work delving into the Beano archive so you don't have to worry about tracking down a publication from a particular date. The Beano Annual from your year is the ultimate 'year you were born' book. It might not contain news on the current affairs of the day, but each Beano Annual is an important time capsule revealing the world as it was when its writers and artists painstakingly crafted the content.
