What Makes It Uncommon

Since its founding in July 1889, The Wall Street Journal has documented the world’s most pivotal moments—from the rise of industries and global conflicts to breakthroughs in science, social change, and the spread of globalization. Now, you can make someone’s birthday part of that storied timeline. This library-bound coffee table book features Wall Street Journal front pages from every year since their birth, personalized with their name and birthdate to create a gift as memorable as the headlines themselves.

  • A meaningful gift whether they're marking a milestone, savoring a significant anniversary, or just gearing up for another orbit around the sun.
  • Select any date, but make sure it's at least one day before your order date—2005 or earlier. The book must have a minimum of 20 pages (maximum of 106 pages).
  • Give this leatherette-bound book an unforgettable touch by personalizing the cover with your recipient's name embossed in shimmering foil on the cover.
  • Complete the set and enhance the reader's experience by selecting the optional magnifying glass.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Made in Massachusetts.
Note: Wall Street Journal archive files may have gaps, especially for earlier dates. Some birthdates may be missing initial years or have non-consecutive entries due to publishing schedules (e.g., no Sunday editions) or incomplete digital records. Archives are available beginning in 1920.

Notes

The book includes only pages from the year of the recipient's birth onward. A younger recipient will have a shorter book. Additional pages featuring noteworthy events on other dates may be added at the end of the book. Please note: The pages in this book were taken from past issues of The Wall Street Journal. In archiving the pages to microfilm, imperfections on the printed pages were repeated, and the process may have introduced additional blemishes. Please note that some front page dates may be omitted on account of holidays, or certain days when there may not have been an issue. Occasionally, damage or other unforeseen circumstances have prevented front pages from being reprinted. In those instances, the front page of the next available issue appears in its place. Once your order is submitted it is entered into production and changes and cancellations cannot be accommodated- we are sorry, no exceptions. - All Orders Final

Very fine book. Looks very professional from the outside.

The idea of the yearly headlines on my birthday is great. I wish to a great extent if I could have a better print to read. hard to read he small print.

I'm so impressed with this gift!

I saw this Wall Street Journal coffee table book when I received my Uncommon Goods catalog! It looks like it's something that is right up my son-in-law's alley so I decided to purchase it and the magnifying glass for him for his birthday as a coffee table book for his office! It's so unique and I think he's going to love it! I can't wait to give it to him in July! :)

Outstanding quality, very nice.

Outstanding quality, very nice. The only problem is that the print is so small that the person it was intended for really couldn't read it. Not sure there's anything to be done about that though.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING

So I stumbled across this gift idea when my buddy/boss was turning 50. He is he type of guy who has everything and if he doesn't have something and needs it, he will go buy it. He does in fact read the Wall Street Journal everyday, so this just was the perfect fit for a birthday gift for him. He was actually speechless when I gave it to him! This book was perfect and I am thankful it turned out so nice. Thank you Travis

Great Gift. Now I want one myself

This book is rather large (think full sized newspaper page unfolded) so it makes a great coffee table book. Some of the pages are even in color. I recommend.

Review of Touching Wall Street Journal Custom Birthday Book

This book was better than expected! Good quality, personalized with name and birthdate on front cover and front title page of the book! My 89 year old Dad was so touched by this and interested in reading the front pages from his birthdate to now that he teared up unexpectedly! The Wall Street Journal's front pages are small print but enlarged so the book is quite large so a reader can read the small print. I bought the set with the included magnifying glass and he set to reading as soon as he opened it! The family had to interrupt him from reading so he could open other gifts! A hit!

Book was great; magnifying glass was broken

The recipient LOVED the WSJ Birthday Book. However, he cut his hand on the broken magnifying glass and the company won't replace it until I send in a photo of the broken (now trashed) glass. Moral of the story: Don't pay the extra bucks for the magnifying glass.

Response from merchant

We're so sorry the magnifying glass arrived broken and the gift recipient was injured. We expect every order to be delivered in perfect condition, so our team is shipping him a replacement so he can truly enjoy his birthday book.

Is there a way to customize the cover to different wording?

Verified reply from Monique

Hello, the book cover is not customizable.

  • undisclosed

If we use Jan 1 for example, would it be that day every year or a random day from every year?

Verified reply from Maxienne

The book would feature the front page from January 1 of every year from the birth year selected.
