How it works · edited by hand

Three short steps. Then we typeset.

Two of us, a keyboard, a stack of cream paper, and your details. We edit every clue by hand. About a week, door to door.

Step 01 · five minutes

Tell us about them.

Their name, the occasion, a date worth marking. Then the specifics. We want the inside jokes, the cities they always come back to, the words only the two of you say. The more you give us, the better the puzzle.

You can also write a few of the clues yourself. Many people do. Many do not. Leave a field blank and we will write you one.

We typeset, by hand.

An editor lays out a grid around your details. The marquee theme entries lock in first. Your place, your date, your phrase. The rest of the words snap in around them. Then we write every clue, one at a time. Some are warm. Some are mean in the way only family can be.

Both founders read every clue before it ships. If we miss the spirit of the gift, we redo it or refund you in full. Your choice.

Printed and shipped.

On uncoated cream stock, in a kraft envelope, sealed in wax. Hand-addressed in Brooklyn and dropped at the post office the morning it is ready. Mini and Weekday ship as a digital PDF too, so you have it the moment we are done.

The Book is perfect-bound, foil-stamped, and travels in its own box. Three to four weeks for that one. Worth the wait.
