“This was a gift for my history teacher grandson. Out of curiosity, I have it sent to me and then I send it to him. We were both hooked from the beginning. About the 3rd mailing he said, "The best gift ever!" We discuss every mailing.”

Influencing Factors: Interesting and unique gift idea for my history loving teen!
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!

They do a very good job. I keep all mine in sheet protectors in a 4 ring notebook, my little archive.
