If you miss the date
- Check for faster delivery. If it's available for your address, you'll see the options and price before you pay.
- Give the e-book first. It takes about five minutes to make, and Teddy can read it aloud on Christmas morning.
- Print it afterward. You can order a printed copy of the same book later.
Before you order
Make the book a few days before your date, so there's time to read it, fix any text and redraw any picture. Your exact delivery estimate and total are shown before you pay.
