The book arrives wrapped in card and plastic to protect it from the elements during shipping, and I was impressed with the quality and weight. Each page is thick glossy paper. Our book is a hardbacked copy and it's nicely bound and will wipe clean from small spills.
Ordering is really simple and takes less than a minute. We were a tiny bit disappointed to see that red hair is not an option, so we had to choose the next best, which is straight and blonde. There is a large dedication space on the inside front page which you can choose to edit. I found the example a bit twee, so I edited it slightly, but you can entirely rewrite it if you wish.
Each book has a minimum of 38 pages - really very long for a personalised book. The authors Dirk Hampel and Mike De Seve have written a proper story and we actually read it over 2 bedtimes. The tale is a bit crazy, very dreamlike and imaginative, but full of familiar objects and creatures which younger children will recognise.
The illustrations by Marta Viader and Andre Arcos are bright and colourful, the characters friendly and sweet. The child wanders the world making new friends and finding letters from their name plus an associated quality - K for Kind for example.
The selections given for the letters of my little Turbo-Boy son's name really did fit well - energetic, zany, enthusiastic. Definitely...
This is a really nice book and the story held my son throughout. He was impressed when he realised the letters spelt out his name and identifies with the child in the tale. The Magic Of My Name is more expensive than some personalised books, but also much longer and it is nicely made. A lovely keepsake gift for a special child.
