I appreciate all the help you gave me with my stories. I am so proud of my book. It means a lot to me that my grandchildren will know all about our family. And all my favorite pictures are in my book, so they will never be lost. -Mildred Kostyack, Clark, NJ

I still had all of his letters and pictures. Putting them into a book was a way to honor his sacrifice at Normandy, and a way for the whole family to know their “Uncle Squeak”. -Lavelle Chalmers, San Francisco, CA

It was the best gift I could have given my mother. She actually talked about her childhood, and the war. My daughter is so impressed with Grandma. Thank you for all the time you spent on the phone with us.” -Lynne Spinner, Montville, NJ

CAP Books: Complete Author's Program

The Easiest, Fastest Way to Create a Book

You’ll notice we say this is the easy way to “create” your book. In fact, our authors don't need to use a computer! We provide clear, step-by-step guidance with the Stories To Tell Author's Guide.

For most unpublished writers, a book is a difficult project that may never be completed. We suggest you record your stories over the telephone or with a digital recorder. Recording is much faster, easier, and it results in better stories, too. (Of course, if you've already written the text, send it to us and we'll put it into your book.)

Your photographs can be as precious, and important to preserve, as your stories. We'll show you how to send us your photos to be scanned and included in your book.

All the Technical and Editorial Help You Need

Our Complete Author's Program provides the technical and editorial assistance you need to publish your book. We handle the production of the book so that you can enjoy the creative parts: telling your stories and choosing your best photos and illustrations. The chart below lists all the services we provide to CAP authors. Most important, you'll work with an experienced editor from beginning to end!
