Absolutely fantastic service from Ian! Text him on Sunday with a question and received the paper today! Really fascinating to be holding a piece of history from 75 years ago! Even the box it comes in is delightful. I think my step father will be delighted with his gift. Thank you so much!

Fantastic business and a pleasure to trade with. I ordered a newspaper from the day my daughter was born and from first contact with Ian, to receiving it in New Zealand, it took 10 days! Ian was so quick to answer my questions and the service is second to none. The newspaper arrived in great condition and there was even some acid free paper to wrap it in to preserve it. Will definitely be back.

I’d looked at getting a paper from my Dad’s birthdate as part of his 90th birthday gifts but was left in the lurch after being mucked around by another similar company who shall remain nameless! Wish I had found Papers Past first, I ordered yesterday lunchtime and received today - incredible quick delivery, brilliant communication and nicely presented with lots of nice extra touches. Dad loved it! Thanks Ian and staff for saving the day!

Brilliant idea for a special birthday. I rang Ian and he was so helpful. I paid online and the paper arrived within a couple of days. My Dad was so chuffed - an original newspaper from 1943! All packaged very well with a couple of extras thrown in, including a book all about his birth date. Really impressed - would definitely recommend/use again.

Ian had the paper for the date we needed and sent it out to us so it arrived the morning after I’d paid. Presented very nicely, would recommend.

I purchased a Times from May 1947 for my mom's 75th birthday. The service, communication and quality from Papers Past was 1st class. The additional birthday book and charity gift bag was also a lovely gesture. I can't recommend Ian and the team highly enough. Will definitely buy from again.

Great Company had a better selection of papers at better prices than their larger competitor. Delivery and communication was First Class. I will always check Papers Past First. Excellent condition newspapers and well packed. One of the papers was a Saturday Times and it had all 3 sections. Thank you

This is the second time that I have used this company, within the last 9 months for a birthday gifts. Very efficient service and keeping you in the loop. The 'Your Birthday Book' is a extra special touch. I am sure this gift will be greatly received as the last one I purchased. Both of which for 60th Birthdays. Thank you Papers Past.
