# I'm In The Book

> I'm In The Book (iminthebook.com) makes personalized illustrated children's storybooks. Each book stars one grandchild alongside their grandparents, illustrated from a photo so the characters look like the real family, and is delivered as a high-resolution digital PDF or a premium 11x8.5" hardcover printed and shipped in the USA.

A book is ordered through a short web form (about five minutes): describe the grandchild (photo upload or written description), add one or two grandparents, choose the scenes from a real visit together, pick an art style, and write a dedication. Illustrations are AI-generated and the story is AI-drafted, then every page is personally reviewed by the founder before the book is delivered or printed. Digital books are ready the same day; hardcovers ship in 5-7 business days.

Scope and limits: one grandchild per book, one or two grandparents included at no extra cost, no pets, over 20 custom illustrations per book, minimum 24 printed pages. Photos are used only to create the book, are never sold or used for training, and are deleted 90 days after delivery.

Prices are not embedded in this file so they can never go stale: fetch https://iminthebook.com/api/v1/pricing for current hardcover, digital, gift wrap and additional-copy prices, or read the pricing section on the homepage.

Every public page supports content negotiation: send `Accept: text/markdown` to any public URL, or append a `.md` suffix (for example https://iminthebook.com/about.md), to get clean Markdown instead of HTML. A public, read-only JSON API lives at https://iminthebook.com/api/v1 and is documented at https://iminthebook.com/developers.
