We make guided fill-in books that hold on to what slips away most easily: a grandparent's memories, your parents' stories, a child's first school year. We ask the questions — your family writes the answers.
DISCOVER OUR BOOKSWe design and typeset every book ourselves — from the first question to the gold frame on the cover. Published in English, German and Polish.
Memory books with over 100 questions about a whole life — from childhood through great love to hard-earned wisdom. With a family tree, family recipes and room for photos.
Burgundy for Mom, deep navy for Dad — the newest volumes of the series, in the same elegant design. A gift for birthdays, holidays, Mother's Day and Father's Day that comes back to the family filled in forever.
A first-grader's keepsake album to fill in and paste photos into — with a class schedule, a lost-tooth list, an autograph page and a spread for grandparents. Editions for girls and boys, photo frames sized for 4 × 6 prints.
Herzfaden — German for “heart-thread”.
Herzfaden Verlag is a small family publishing house that does one thing and does it with care: books you fill in by hand. We believe the most precious stories aren't in bookstores — they live in the memory of the people we love, and they vanish if nobody asks.
So our books ask. Specific, warm, sometimes playful questions — the kind that get Grandma talking about her first dance, Mom about her first day of school, and a first-grader gluing in the ticket from her first field trip.
Eighteen titles. Three languages. One thread.
