Looking for a birthday book for someone turning 70, 80 or 90? Our year-you-were-born books bring their birth year back to life: the news, the prices, the music and the everyday things they grew up with, all in large print they can read without hunting for their glasses.
Each Born in book also has a 100-question quiz, word searches, coded messages and memory pages to fill in together, so it becomes something to share at the party rather than a book that sits on a shelf.
Born in 1936 covers the year someone celebrating their 90th in 2026 was born.
