A real hardcover.
Her real voice.
Most family-history products end at a PDF. Eviga ends at a beautifully bound, foil-stamped, archival-paper book — with QR codes scattered through the pages that play her actual voice telling that story. Built to outlast all of us.
The book she'd never sit down
and write.
You can buy memoir prompt books for £15. They sit on shelves, blank, until the person dies. We know — we've bought them.
What she leaves behind, with Eviga, is different in kind. Not a stack of unanswered prompts. A finished, beautifully made book of her actual life, written in her actual voice — assembled chapter by chapter from voice notes she enjoyed sending, at her own pace.
The hardcover is the heirloom. The QR codes are the doorway back to the moment.
Built like a book that matters.
Most modern photo books are paperback or thin-spine softcover. Eviga is bound by a craft printer in Europe to specifications that haven't changed in 80 years — because they don't need to.
This is what an open spread looks like.
Beautifully typeset. Generous margins. The chapter title in italic display serif. A photo from her album on the facing page. A QR code in the margin that plays the voice clip the chapter was written from.
The summer Greta fell off the dock
The summer of 1962, Anna was sixteen and her sister Greta was almost fourteen. Their father drove them up to Skagen the day after midsummer, the car windows down, the radio playing something her mother sang along to and the girls didn't know.
The dock was old even then. "It was the colour of bread that's been left out," Anna says, "the planks all silver. You could feel them giving a little when you walked out to the end."

A package that matters.
The hardcover is shipped in a custom-folded archival box, wrapped in Eviga's cream paper, with a hand-numbered slip and a small bookplate. It's the kind of opening that gets photographed.
The book itself
Cloth-wrapped hardcover, foil-stamped title, ~200 pages of her stories. The thing that lasts.
A custom archival box
Sturdy folded card, lined with acid-free paper. Sized to fit the book exactly. Designed to outlast the wrapping.
A numbered bookplate
"This is the [Family Name] family record, volume one." Hand-numbered, signed by us. Sits inside the front cover.
A QR card for safekeeping
One QR code that resolves to the entire digital archive — the full collection of voice clips, photos, and chapters. Tuck it into the box for the next generation.
One book is rarely enough.
When her book is finished, you'll want one for yourself, one for each of your siblings, one for your kids, and probably one for her sister in Bromma. Eviga makes that simple.
Additional copies of the same hardcover are available at print-cost (~£35 per book plus shipping). Order them all at once, or one at a time over years. The print files don't expire — order book number twelve in 2034 if you want.
You can also customize each copy: a personal dedication on the front endpaper, a different cover color, an extra family-tree page. So each grandchild gets a copy that feels like it was made for them.
One book, included. More on request.
Your £149 founding supporter price includes one full hardcover, shipped wherever she lives — or wherever you live. Additional copies are available at print-cost (~£35) so siblings, grandchildren, and the family library each get one.
