Before you choose their book.

How do photo-personalized books work?

Add the names and photos required by the chosen title. TinyShelf uses AI illustration to create recognizable characters on the book's personalized surfaces. A sample demonstrates the style; your own pages are the check on likeness.

Can siblings, grandparents or a pet be in the book?

Yes, on books designed for that cast. Use the “Who stars” filter above and check the product page for the number of people or pets and the photos needed.

Can I choose a storybook or a nature reference book?

Yes. Storybooks follow the chosen adventure. The Field Atlas combines fixed natural-history reference layouts with selected personalized illustrations and a home-state chapter for ages 6–12. Read the Atlas sample.

What should I check before buying?

Read the sample, check the title's age range and cast, and review its current preview and editing process. Compare the printed format and delivered total, including tax, and read the refund and print policy and photo privacy policy.
