A work colleague had a book printed from her tree on Ancestry UK that she gave to her parents as a christmas present, it was very well presented and I would imagine exactly what you are looking for. I currently have my information in a ring binder but would be interested if GR did the same service as Ancestry UK. |

I have done my book, but hoping to publish. You can do it in word and put it into book format, so that it opens on landscape like a book and you can re do it and re read it, that way you can save it and print it of, if you just want it for yourself and you can put borders on the edges to make notes on your work or special places that you need to re check information. I found it very useful |
