What if there are mistakes in my final book?
Heritage Makers will reprint without change any book with their error (binding, etc). Any mistakes or changes by the author will be reprinted at ½ price.

I don't have time to make a storybook! How can I get it done?
I can get it done for you! I own a design business called Mican Designs that can design your books and other projects for you. Simply collect your photos and tell us a little about each one. We'll do the rest!

What if I don't have a scanner or a digital camera?
 No problem! You can scan your photos at any photo kiosk, such as in Walmart or Costco, and save them to disk. Or Mican Designs can scan your photos for you!
