Use tool ↗About Be The Book
Be The Book asks a series of questions about someone - name, photo, personality traits and real-life details - and writes a 240-page book for an adult recipient in one of two forms: a comic novel with that person as the main character, or a heartfelt tribute built from real stories about them. Before paying you see the title, the front and back cover with their photo and a preview of the table of contents, but not the text itself. The book is printed on demand at 6 by 9 inches as a paperback or hardcover and shipped with free standard delivery. It is sold as a one-off gift for birthdays, anniversaries and retirements, priced per book with no subscription.

Pros & cons of Be The Book
Be The Book is a novelty gifting product: you answer prompts about a person and receive a printed 240-page comic novel or tribute book about them. It works as a one-off surprise gift, but the story quality depends on how much detail you feed in, and you pay before reading a single page - the preview stops at the title, covers and table of contents.
Pros
- generates a full 240-page personalized book from a short questionnaire and photo
- offers both a comic novel and a non-fiction tribute format
- ships a physically printed paperback or hardcover, not just a PDF
- flat per-book price with free standard shipping
Cons
- only the title, covers and table of contents can be previewed before paying, not the text
- the price appears only inside the order flow, not on the marketing pages
- aimed at adults only, so it does not cover children's storybooks
Best for
- gift-givers marking a big birthday or retirement
- long-distance friends or family wanting a physical keepsake
- people who enjoy comedic, personalized fiction
Not for
- anyone wanting to read a sample chapter before paying
- readers expecting literary-quality prose
Watch out: Prices have risen since the summer: in the US order flow a paperback is now $54.90 and a hardcover $74.90, so older quotes of $39.90 and $59.90 no longer apply.
