Buy a genuine, original, full and complete edition of The Times Newspaper as a gift for a loved one's birthday or to celebrate an anniversary or retirement (your exact choice of day, month & year). Also included with this gift are the following:

• A genuine, original, full and complete edition of The Times Newspaper from the date and year of your choice
• Birthday Book (your choice of day and month) Everything you want to know about the day and month of birthday - famous people born of that day, news events from that day and month going back over the years.
• Certificate of Authenticity with dedication panel for you to complete at home.
• Fair Trade, recycled Indian Newspaper small folded Gift Bag .
• Quirky "What day of the week were you born on" Calendar.
• Two sheets of acid free conservation grade tissue wrapping paper.
• Postal carton, upgraded to our new printed box featuring old newspaper adverts!
. VERY IMPORTANT, usually only Monday to Saturday editions of The Times Newspaper are available as originally they were saved by Libraries who didn't open on Sundays. Make a simple online search to check what day of the week the newspaper will be (if its a Sunday pre 2000 then we will send the following days edition of The Times which will be full of the Sundays News, Events and Photos which will make fascinating reading for the recipient and family as they will be able to read what happened on their day. We will enclose a note to explain the Sunday Problem so it won't look as if you have made a mistake by going for the following day. The free Birthday Book will be for the correct Day and Month so no problem there). The Times Newspaper will be the famous U.K. edition with British and International news, photos and adverts and not a reprint. I, too, was born on a Sunday and my family couldn't get my paper so gave me the following days edition which was great as it had all new news from my birthday. Prior to May 1966 The Times front page was classified ads. with news and photos from page two onwards.


About My Passion For Newspapers

I began acquiring collections of newspapers from Libraries, Government Departments and Private Collectors in 1981. Thus the Papers Past Newspaper Archive was established all those years ago. It now exceeds 200 tons of carefully preserved newspapers held in our own storage facilities in rural Devon.

I adore newspapers and I give regular talks about them to local clubs and W.I. groups. Sometimes I can be found deep in the Newspaper Storage Vaults reading articles and old adverts by torchlight when really I should be moving stocks around or tidying up.

Because of my job I'm great in Pub Quizzes when there are questions about dates of historical events but I'm still rubbish at questions on music and films.
