This is a quality product. The documents are well presented and interesting. I have also been impressed by how thoughtful History By Mail is with their customer communication. So many subscription services take advantage of their customers by sneakily auto renewing without any warning and making their cancellation process intentionally convoluted. Not History By Mail. These guys sent me a reminder email over a week before my subscription was due to auto renew with an easy cancellation link included, just in case I wanted to use it. That is such a classy move. This is the kind of company I like dealing with. I have renewed my subscription for another year.

Fun and unique gift

I purchased this subscription as a gift for my son (age 14) who’s into history. When we received the first month we were very impressed with the replica documents and the extra information sheets giving historically accurate information on the document. Due to them being replicas, it can be difficult to read based on the language or font that everything used to be written in, so the info sheets that explain what everything means and says is so helpful. Very cool and unique gift idea. There’s also an option for Urban Legends that I added on which has really cool stuff!
