In 2021 my partner’s mother was to celebrate her 95th birthday and I was wondering what little gift I could give her along with a bottle of champagne. I looked on Amazon and found a small book, “Born in 1926” - all about the year you were born. The very thing, after all, ‘what does one give a lady of 95 who has everything she wants. When the book arrived, I was very disappointed both with the content – just a dozen pages of ‘lists’ – and the quality. In fact, I felt the book was so poor, I was too embarrassed to give it as a gift. We made do with the champagne only!

When I showed Malcolm, a retired publisher, the book, his initial reaction was, “We can do much better!” Six months later we were well out of retirement and our first ‘Year Book’ was published on Amazon. Since then, we’ve not looked back - or stopped striving to produce interesting and entertaining books about years that are special for people. I love to do the research and writing and Malcolm turns it into our professional books and we have now our own small publishing company, run from home in Newbury.

'How times have changed' for me! Retirement to D’Azur Publishing in just two years.

It was a gift for a friend. He loved it. I assumed all the facts were from 1954, however it had some information from that year, the rest of the book is to the present day. I should have read the description better.
