In 1980, when mini-computers first hit the market, Create-A-Book founder, John Hefty, invented a method to create personalized books by hooking this new computer to an electric typewriter. Later that year, the first dot matrix printers became available and a new franchise was born!

Instant hit with parents and teachers worldwide!

It wasn’t long before new books were added, and hundreds of budding entrepreneurs were joining the Create-A-Book family of distributors nationwide. Create-A-Book, Inc. expanded to use writers and illustrators worldwide to bring a wide variety of captivating stories.

• Every new book is created with the child positioned as the main character.
• Our stories are always 100% original, based on principles for proper child development.
• The valuable messages are written into each personalized story to captivate a child’s interest.

The quality of each book, from the materials selected to the durable hard-covers, makes Create-A-Book products great gifts. These books become keepsakes. We hear from our Create-A-Book children who are now 29 and still have their Create-A-Book! Hear what customers have to say.

You can ONLY buy Create-A-Book products through our dealers!
