Ultimate Birthday Book
by TraceyWe got this for my father in law for his 80th birthday. He is so hard to shop for. He LOVED this! We couldn't be more pleased. It has extra pages, a magnifier sheet, and a coin and it comes in a heavy decorative box. He is loving going through all of the years. This is a fabulous gift for that hard to buy for person. Furthermore, customer service was great. When I expressed concern about the time (Dec) Customer service advised that the vendor was working around the clock and guaranteed delivery by 12/23 end of day. Sure enough, fed ex delivered. Totally satisfied with the entire transaction/product. Well done! -

Great Birthday Gift
by KenThis is the second Ultimate Birthday Book we have purchased for our family and each one is a treasure. -
I can't say enough good things about the book or the customer service.
by marionI'll just say that the book exceeded even my high expectations and concentrate on the service. My order was lost in transit and returned to sender. When I phoned up NYT to ask if they could please forward the package to the correct address when they received it, they said oh, no, it may never get here, we'll just make up another one and send it out right away.  -

Perfect Gift
by RachelThis is a perfect gift to give someone who has celebrated a long life. He/she will be able to reminisce about what happened in the past and see how it has impacted the present and the future. This is definitely an opportunity to do something different and outside the box. -
The Ultimate Birthday Book
by PeterWow -What a great idea, This is awesome. That is the response every client has given me after receiving this great book. The packaging is great and every client has been extremely pleased. -
Birthday Book
by CandiceGreat purchase-a gift for my stepdad. He enjoyed reading the headlines of his birth date over the years and was surprised to see how much had happened. There were a few articles he wished he could read in their entirety since only the front page is included, but Google helped out with learning more about those topics. The icing on the cake was the free 3- month subscription to NY Times online that came free with the book. -
Great gift!
by BarbaraI ordered the Times of Your Life as a holiday gift. It was a big hit with the recipient and the entire family. Everyone enjoyed a look back at the major events of years passed. Additionally, the articles sparked a number of conversations with younger family members. I can recommend this book for a history buff or really any friend or family member. -
Ultimate Birthday book

Best Gift Ever!
by MarionI gave my 86 year old mother this for Hanukkah. I had been thinking it would be a great 90th Birthday gift, but decided not to wait. It surpassed exceptions, it is beautifully made and even includes a magnify glass to make for easier reading. She absolutely loves it! Not only is she enjoying it but the whole family children and grandchildren are as well. -
Poor quality
by Daniel DonahueWhile the photocopies of front pages are a good gift, the quality of the binder is poor. One binder arrived with a defective screw so that it was not even attached. We had to go to the hardware store to find a proper one to fix. I certainly was disappointed to give this as a gift, and will never do so again! -
NY Times Birthday Newspaper
by JanI sent this as a gift. It shipped very quickly and the recepient was delighted and had never seen any quite like it. Very High quality. -
Ultimate B-day Book
by Mary JaneMy dad was born 12/10/1924. He doesn't get out much anymore but is still sharp. For his 90th birthday, I ordered the book with every first page from his lifetime. The book was beautifully bound and he immediately went through every page, using the magnifier that was included. This gift was special and unique and solved the huge problem of what to buy for a man who is 90 years old. -
Perfect 50th Birthday Gift!
by FondueMomEven though I was looking for the perfect 50th birthday gift for my husband, I was hesitant about spending so much for a book. I am so glad I splurged. I've seen the more basic version, and you can't compare. . . the ultimate birthday book has a much richer feel and presence, and it makes quite a statement. Being a news aficionado, I know he's going to love it. I can't wait to give it to him! -
Great gift for the person who has 'everything'
by AmandaMy dad was delighted when he opened the box with this book in it and immediately began to read it. The binding was beautiful with his name embossed on it. It came with a handy magnifying glass because the print is pretty tiny. I would recommend this to anyone who is difficult to buy for- they will enjoy this unique gift! -
Was broken when it arrived
by BingThe cover was off and a part had broken. I was able to go to hardware store and find a new piece and fix it and re-assembe. Otherwise, customer service wanted me to photograh and send them evidence of the broken/missing part. -

the times of your life
by georgeThe book was fine but I think you failed to apply the 20 per cent off to the price charged, and it was the 20 oer cent off that persuaded me to order the book. -
Review of "The Ultimate Birthday Book - The Times Of Your Life"
by Khib KuglerWe got this for my father's 75th birthday, & he loved it. It is a great product, and a great idea for a "different", but personalized gift, or coffee table book. -
times of your life
by janthe content in the book was nice, but the leather binder itself was of poor quality. There were air bubbles on the front cover and the name card on the front also fell out of place and had to be re-glued. -
Ultamate Bithday Book

A Special Gift for a Special Birthday
by BarbaraIt was my father's 80th birthday. He is very hard to buy a present for or even present a unique experience. I asked him if he would like to stay in a yurt. "Oh I have already done that honey - one night in Kyrgyzstan with an ex-KGB agent drinking shots of vodka. But good try." He LOVED this present - The TIMES of YOUR LIFE -birthday book. He stopped eating his birthday cake and couldn't put the book down. It was a home run! And that is not easy to do with him :) -
Birthday Book
by KerryBought for my 84 year old Father in Law. He never thought he would live so long, and he is just really enjoying every day he is alive, and is reaching out for knowledge which this book gives to him in a format which works. The magnifier is a nice touch, and I got him a larger one, also. The book also works for general year by year for his Wife, as she is younger. Great gift, and I would highly recommend it. -

The Ultimate Birthday Book
by SharonReceived this as a gift from my thoughtful well intentioned brother. Thought that since it is now 2014 , you should have included the first decade of this century of this decade. Print quality of older issues make it difficult to read even with the magnifier. -
Book review
by MegExceeded our expectations. Beautifully and thoroughly done. -
The Best Gift!
by TiffanyIt was my brother's 40th birthday. What a great gift to get someone who is particular, doesn't really need anything, but you would like to give something special. It is a wonderful mile marker gift. To see the headlines on your special day is fun. I love that there is room for photos and notes. The presentation is beautiful and the box it comes in is a gift in itself. Love, love. What's more is he loved it. Thank you! -
Fabulous!!!

A Royal gift
by John MaplebackI have given two Birthday books now, the first to a Ninety year old and the second only Fifty. It is so rewarding to see the celebrant's reactions of wonder and amazement as they get past the gold embossment of their names to see their own history laid out on royal parchment. It is a Royal gift. -
Fabulous birthday gift
by Stephen GoldsteinWho needs another new tie, shirt, bottle of wine, etc. This Ultimate Birthday book was the talk of the party after my friend opened his gift. A beautiful leather bound cocktail table book is a snapshot of your birthday , the front page of the NY Times for every year of your life. The older the person is, the more pages to review. What fun! -

Ultimate Birthday Book -- A big book of memories
by WillaimI ordered the Ulltimate Birthday Book for my 82-year old mother with instructions not to open until Christmas. Around December 18 she called me to tell me it was the best gift she had gotten for Christmas since I sent her to Italy 20 years ago. She said it was bringing back a lot of important memories of things she hadn't thought about in years, and she was especially impressed that the Times was sold for 2 cents a copy in 1928. -
Excellent Birthday Gift

80 Years of Life
by JanWe gave the Ultimate Birthday Book to my Dad for Christmas in 2012, and he absolutely loves it. The beautifully bound book shares the front page of the New York Times of every day of his birth for his past 80 years. He says it brings back so many memories of life for him that are wonderful spring boards for interesting conversations and history lessons for his grandchildren. Thanks! Jan -
Nice but pricy
by RickGot it for Mom's 80th. I came with everything advertised. The type was quite readable but I'm sure Mom will appreciate the included magnifier. It was very interesting to leaf through and I enjoyed spending time with it myself. But it costs a lot and includes a NY Times medallion and I can't imagine why anyone would want that. It seems to be a way to just pump up the price. -
Unique and wonderful gift!!
by Ann MarieWe bought this for a friend's 75th birthday. Like many men he has everything and is challenging to buy for. Of course, he didn't have this and it made a lovely gift. He spent hours reading every paper and was really delighted with it. The quality of the book and embossing was great and it includes a large flat magnifier to make the pages easier to read. Highly recommend!! -
The times of your life
by MylwsBetter than anticipated. Great goft. -
?
by patThe birthday book is difficult to read. The magnifier is helpful but the book is cumbersome which makes the magnifier difficult to read. Service & delivery were prompt. -
THE ULTIMATE BIRTHDAY BOOK

She was Delighted
by MarioIt was one of many gifts for my wife's 60th birthday and she was delighted with it. It is a unique gift, if that is what you're looking for. Of course, to include this year's birth date, the gift must be given after the birthday. -

One of the best gifts ever!
by KristinaThis gift greatly exceeded my expectations. I bought it for my father, for his 77th birthday. It is a beautiful, high quality book, that arrived very nicely packaged and came with a magnifier for easier viewing. I wasn't quite sure what it would be like, but am so happy to have taken the risk. My dad loves it, and has spent many hours perusing the pages. He says it brings back memories of many events he wouldn't otherwise have thought of. Will definitely keep this in mind for others! -

Ultimate Birthday Book
by PatThis was a wonderful gift to celebrate my husband's landmark birthday. He was delighted with it and delved into it right away. My only complaint is that more velcro attachment points are needed to keep the inside page-loader tab from popping open. -
Great Gift!

Perfect birthday gift.

The Ultimate Birthday Book - The Times Of Your Life
by JulieGift for my dad's 80th birthday. My only complaint is that the reproductions are smaller than I expected - so the print is impossibly tiny. Other than that great - and very prompt and accurate customer service. Great for people who wait until the last minute. -
The times of your life

Great Gift!
by RichardI bought this gift for my brother-in-law - he's difficult to buy for. This gift was very well received. The craftsmanship is superb.  Print is on the small side but that is understandable considering the need to fit the entire front page of a newspaper onto a book page that is considerably smaller. -
The Ultimate Birthday Book

by SeanI purchased this book for my father who was turning 60 and he hasn't stopped raving about it. He says it is a once and a lifetime gift. As a lawyer and a judge originally from NYC, it's hard to find the "right" gift. Well, this birthday book was it. He is taking his time spending hours reading each page carefully and strolling back through memory lane. My father also noted the quality of the book and gift box too. Thanks again. I highly recommend this gift to all. -
Perfect birthday gift
by DonAlthough purchased for my sister's 70th birthday, I was reluctant to give it up. Having lived through the same time period, each year brings back vivid memories. I am hoping she takes the hint and orders one for me on my 80th birthday. The quality is outstanding. -

Times of Your Life: Ultimate Birthday Book
by SalaamI purchased this for my mom when she turned 70, and she couldn't have been more happy. It was like a birthday gift for her, all of her friends, children, and grandchildren. It was a family affair for weeks. I was surprised how attentive the children and grandchildren were listening to my mother and her friends pouring over each page, reminiscing, and talking about events they recalled. It was clearly the best present ever, and everyone should have one. -
nice product, but service could improve
by michelleI ordered this product online to be shipped directly to the gift recipient. I even called to confirm that it would be sent to his address, not mine, but it still showed up on my doorstep, requiring me to pay additional to ship it to the right person. The print is EXTREMELY small, so if you are giving this as a gift, you might also buy a magnifying glass so they can read it. Otherwise, it's a very interesting gift and is nicely packaged. -
Fantastic Gift
by DanI bought the Ultimate Birthday book for my mother's 75th, after seeing one at a friend's house. It is such a terrific gift. It presents beautifully and is fascinating to look through.

front pages for birthdays/anniversaries
by justineThis is a novel and much appreciated gift to celebrate special recurring dates. It is beautifully packaged. Only shortcoming is that the print on the pages is small. The magnifier that comes with it helps but is small for the job. -
Ultimate Birthday Book
by MelissaFantastic gift for my 83-year-old father. He loved it. It comes with a magnifying glass, and a section at the end of the book with an overview of news from each decade of his life. The book is beautiful. It's fun to see how the paper has changed over the years, and to see what kind of things made the front page 80 years ago vs. today. This book is a wonderful gift. -

Happy at 89
by Sherri NoelWonderful gift for an 89 year old and was so happy to find the magnifier at the back of the book. I was thinking about buying one as I leafed through all the pages and then voila there it was. It was a big hit. The only thing I was not happy with was that it was packaged in the shipping box which was inappropriate for gift wrapping. I made due using tissue and then my wrap but I think it would have been nicer with better box or sleeve, inside the brown cardboard one. -
Great birthday gift
by susanI gave this to my mother for her birthday and she loved it. -

Great, unique gift
by M A ChiulliWe got this gift for my Mom, who just turned 100. Not only did the book arrive in record time, it is more beautiful than I thought. I think everyone at the party spent time looking through it - to see a snapshot of the world in yearly 'bites'. I also like the well thought out summary and inserts at the end, so we can keep adding pages for years to come. The magnifier, too, is a nice touch! -

AMAZING
by Daniela Vonbreitenbachthis book was SO incredibly beautiful! It was even better than I had hoped. I would recommend this as the perfect gift! -
Handsome but expensive
by B.This book makes a very handsome and special gift and is a lot of fun, but quite expensive. It's also probably the best gift you'll find for someone who is 95 years old. The commemorative coin that is comes with is silly - wish they would omit it and save the customer a couple bucks. -
Great gift idea
by Anne FrazierI purchased this for my 84 year old mother who is always talking about the changes she has witnessed in her lifetime. She LOVED recieving this book! Everyone else has also enjoyed it. Its really awesome seeing actual newpaper coverage of events so far in the past.  This is such a great gift especially for an elderly person. The book came amazingly quick after placing the order. -

Best Gift I ever Got
by RossMy father-in-law was having his 80th birthday and I wanted to get him something special. He's a bit of a history buff so when I saw the Birthday Book, it seemed like a great idea. The content is amazing and you can spend hours going through it. The materials are great quality and I believe this will be passed to my son some day. -

by reginaldI ordered this book for my mother's birthday. She was extremely pleased with it. Flipping through the pages brought back memories for her that she hadn't had in years.

Wonderful Gift - for those who have everything
by MelissaI purchased the Ultimate Birthday Book for a close family friend that was turning 83. He has been dealing with health issues and had been inside and feeling a little cooped up. He LOVED the book..it gave him something to keep him busy and actively engaged since the book was a recap of the events that have made up his 83 years. I will be sure to keep adding pages to help him continue to celebrate his wonderful LONG life! -
Need to stay on top of this order
by EPThe email from the original order said I would receive an email when it was shipped. A week went by and I didn't get an email so I called. The NYT contacted the supplier who immediately sent out another book. Yup - you guessed it - the recipient received 2 books! Book is good, service is not. -
The Times Of Your Life
by RichI am generally happy with this purchase. There was one problem, however. On the cover there is a gold embossed leather name plate which sits in a window in the cover of the book. The name plate was not attached securely and had slipped diagonally out of place. Luckily I was able to repair the error. If I had sent it directly I wouldn't have been happy when they opened it. Overall, this is a good present. -
Most unique gift,ever

Terrific bday gift for someone who has everything
by LeslieMy dad turned 70 and we had no idea what to get him. He has everything and needs nothing. Since he reads the NY Times every day I knew he would enjoy this. I was SO surprised at how fabulous this gift is. The packaging alone is amazing...and my dad is in packaging design so this helped! The book presentation is terrific. I honestly did not expect it to be this impressive. -

AMAZING Gift!
by JessicaAs my dad's 60th birthday was approaching I had no idea what to get him. He loves to read the newspaper everyday so I figured this would be a good gift.

This is a great gift for that special birthday! -

One of the best gifts I ever gave my husband
by GailJohn was born on Aug 7, 1945, the day after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. He has always had the front page of the NYT framed from Aug 7, 1945 and found it fascinating. He was thrilled to receive the front page of the NYT for the past 66 years. It was absolutely the perfect gift for any one who likes and appreciates history. It is not often that I come across such a perfect gift that has meaning,is educational and shows someone you really care. gail -

Great Stuff
by amberDad loved it! -
Ultimate Birthday Book
by ChristineThis book is wonderful EXCEPT for one thing: the print is just too tiny for the front pages from the earlier years. Consider, perhaps, taking up 2 pages for these - perhaps turning the book ninety degrees to view it as one front page the 'long' way. -

Great product...to be cherished....delivery not as great
by Wendy KosekPurchased this for my Grandma's 90th birthday. She loved it!! As her family, we were thrilled to get her something she didn't already have. However, shipping it on time was stressful since 1) Next day delivery only means it will ship the next day..not be delivered 2)the shipping reps kept trying to ship it after her birthday so the insert would be included. This would have left us emptyhanded for her birthday party. -

The Ultimate Birthday Book- The Times of Your Life
by AnnGreat present for the right person&the right occasion.I received this as a gift so I knew about it. It's an impressive gift&one that will be displayed&kept for a lifetime. I gave 2 since getting mine&was pleased to get a good discount via e mail. It's expensive&also so oversized which I guess it has to be to read the print,but it's hard to find a good place for it b/c of the size. Especially good for regular NY Times readers! I love mine & read a page a week & will probably give it again. -

by Sheila LundleeI'm so excited about this gift. My father will be 70 this year and he was born the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed. He has visited the memorial several times and has a keen interest in all things related to the attack. I'm sure the annual pages will have coverage of anniversary events regarding the attack, as well as, the normal events associated with each passing year. Can't wait and I know he'll love it! -

Great Gift
by TomMy gift was for a friend in Hong Kong and the package was really nice including the commemorative coin. Personally I think the entire copy of the Times would be a better choice. What we want to see is how people were living - the ads, the local news and that was missing from the front page book. Still it was a nice gift and well received. -

Worth every penny
by Oswald EdwardsA one of a kind gift, designed for recipients who have a healthy view of the span of history over their lifetime, and are in awe of the astonishing changes which have occurred in just the last half a century. It goes without saying that it was received very well by my friend of many years, and I would certainly recommend it. -
Great gift!
by SusanI just gave this to my Dad for his 80th birthday and it was a big hit. It was interesting, attractive, and we all enjoyed looking at it. What else do you give someone at that point in their lives? This was perfect. p.s. If you want to give it to someone on their birthday, you won't have the page from the actual birthday itself because it won't have come out yet. However, for about $20 you can get that page sent later, designed to be added to the book. -
Ultimate Birthday Book for My Boss
by SarahThis was a perfect gift for the man who has everything. I was very impressed with the quality of the newspaper prints and the book's binding. I would recommend this gift for anyone who loves reading news and about current events. -
The Ultimate Birthday Book
by AnneMy 90 year-old mother has dementia, but not so much so she cannot enjoy 90 years of New York Times front pages. The print is quite small and while the Times includes a magnifyer, it isn't sufficient. You will likely need something more. Hours of pleasure, and as my mother has said often, it is a history book, one worth the time. -
The Times of your Life book
by LaurenI gave this book to my grandmother for her 90th birthday and she loved it. When the book came, I started crying when I went through it, because it was just so beautiful and such a unique gift. This book really was the perfect gift to encompass all the amazing things my grandmother has seen in her lifetime. The book totally exceeded my expectations, including the customer service. -
The Ultimate Birthday Book
by Judith K. KenworthyThe book makes a wonderful keepsake to celebrate a special occasion, e.g., birthday, anniversary. My only negative would be that, when we purchased this book two years ago, I remember it being available at a considerably lesser price without the coin. I hope that the Times would consider this option for the future. -
For the man with everything!
by Christie KankaMy dad just turned 80 years old. He is very hard to shop for because he already has everything he wants and needs!! I decided to find the one gift he would not only love, but didn't already have, and I found it! He was overwhelmed and thrilled to receive it. He has told me on many occasions how much he enjoys reading this book, and I am so happy I found it for him! Thanks so much for such a great and unique gift! Christie -

Ultimate Birthday Gift
by Martin PressmanWhat do give a 90+ year old for a birthday gift when they tell you...No Gifts!!. This book is above and beyond the definition of gift. It is more of a tribute to a persons' life than a birthday gift. Nothing could have been better received anymore appreciated. -

Ultimate Birthday Book
by miriam abelesI bought this for my aunt's 95th birthday. It was very impressive. Rven the box was beautiful and didn't need wrapping. The print was so small, however, that it could not be easily read, I was under the impression it cam with a magnifying glass. That would have been more useful than the coins -
Birthday Book
by FredThe birthday book assembly of the NY Times page for each birthday was unusual and very well done. Service was prompt and courteous. The "grey lady" does it again! -
Excellent Gift
by KristinVery creative, excellent gift for a milestone birthday. I ordered it for my dad's 60th birthday & he loves it. Not sure if it would've included 2013 (his 60th bday) if I would've ordered it prior to his actual birthday. I ordered it late & was happy that it included 2013 since it was a milestone year. -

Elegant Birthday Gift
by Raul RebakI thought New York Times Ultimate Birthday Book would make a perfect and different gift for my husband Bill (we are NYT fanatics). When he opened the gift he was absolutely delighted, I think more by the classy elegant presentation than for the actual facts it contained (I was more impressed by the 53 years of news). For people that actually read well written news and for people that have respect for a stylish presentation I highly recommend it. -
The Ultimate Birthday Book

by BeccaI purchased the Ultimate Birthday Book for my Dad, who was born in 1930. We have all enjoyed looking back through history via the annual pages associated with his birthday for 81 years! The book looks handsome and is very well made. Great gift! -
huh? title of what?
by stephen knudsenvery nicely bound, packaged, well thought out. Some of the reproduction was not the best-muddy and very dark photo's, hard to read print. It was a gift for my 90 year old father, he liked it a lot. A half page magnifier would probably help with reading it instead of the smaller one that was included. -
tinat22
by Suzanne AndersonThis is a great idea. The headlines are readable and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the print is really small, so even using the little print enlarger, it is really hard to see. My father will enjoy the headlines. Just wish he could actually see more of the articles. The binding and personalizing are very nice. -

The name says it all
by George MillerThe Ultimate Birthday Book is just that: The ultimate birthday present that won't just sit on the shelf. The only problem is you might not want to give it up to its intended recipient. At least I didn't. But common sense prevailed, and my friend loved paging through it. The quality is excellent. This is not a scrapbook that will start to flake apart over the years. And there is space to add your own NYT front pages over succeeding years. -

Great Gift Item!
by VivianOur lab reviewed several gift suggestions for a landmark birthday gift to our professor, and decided upon the Ultimate Birthday Book.

A few days later the book had arrived in time for another celebration for him. Everyone loved it!! -

J.P & Vivian NYT Front Pages from 1981 Forward
by JonThe front pages from a specific date in 1981 and forward was a HUGE hit. It was a gift to a couple born on the same day and year and they were simply thrilled.

The Ultimate Birthday Book
by WalterArrived overnight and is all I hoped it would be. -
Poor binding

Great Gift for a Milestone Birthday
by Susan PawlukI bought this for my son's 30th birthday. He loved it because it was so unique. Everyone at the party spent time looking at the book. It was a great conversation starter.

I will be ordering this again for other favorite people! -

“Hilo” is a series of articles and sample applications that demonstrate how you can leverage the power of Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 and Visual C++ to build high performance, rich responsive client applications. Hilo provides both source code and guidance that will help you design and develop compelling, touch-enabled Windows applications of your own. Follow us on Twitter @projecthilo
10/9/2014 Update: This sample has been updated for Visual Studio 2013, and includes a hot fix to the AsyncLoaderMemoryManager.cpp file (lines 36 and 37) which addresses a common crash issue.
We've collected the Hilo
article series and packaged them into a single PDF. You can download the PDF from
here.
The Hilo sample applications allow you to browse, annotate, and share photographs and images. Previous
articles in this series have described the design and implementation of the Hilo Browser, which allows you to browse and select images using a touch-enabled user interface, and the Hilo Annotator, which allows you to crop, rotate, and draw on the photographs
you have selected. Now, in the third release of Hilo, we've added support for sharing your photo via Flickr! You can download the source code for the Hilo applications from
here.
We've also added support for Windows 7 taskbar and jump lists!
The Hilo Annotator uses the Windows Ribbon Control to provide easy access to the various annotation functions, and the Windows Imaging Component to load and manipulate the images and their metadata.
The Hilo article series, along with the sample application source code, are intended to jumpstart your development and show you how to take advantage of key Windows capabilities in your own applications. The next articles in the Hilo series will describe how
the Annotator is implemented using the Windows Ribbon control and the Windows Imaging Components. You can read all of the articles in the Hilo series
here.
To compile and run the Hilo Browser applications, you will need Visual Studio 2010 and Visual C++. You can download Visual C++ 2010 Express edition for free from here.
