Expanding each quarter
Every book passes through seven stages before it reaches your door. Here is what each one does, and who does it.
From a photo on your phone to a book on their shelf — here's the path a Page Hundred book takes.
Our AI engine is a workshop of specialists: a likeness agent that learns the child's face, a narrative agent that spins your prompt into story, a layout agent that sets the page, and three parallel reviewers that check for tone, safety, and print-readiness. No page leaves the engine until all three reviewers sign off.
Two avatars per character, generated from one front-facing photo and a handful of traits. You pick; we refine. Never a random face — always built from the child you uploaded.
A tuned LLM writes against strict age, word-count and tone rules. British or US English. Tone-matched to the age band. Moderated before and after generation.
Cover, title page, and three sample spreads rendered at low-res. You approve exactly what you'll receive — and only then does your card get charged.
After approval, we generate the remaining pages at print resolution — upscaled, colour-corrected, and laid to bleed. This happens while you receive a warm confirmation email.
A real editor flips every page. Misspelled signs, six-fingered hands, odd geometry — caught and regenerated with the same seed. We'd rather be slow than send a bad book.
Files go to our European print partner. Hardback cover, silk paper, proper binding. Shipped worldwide, tracked, with the first 500 books hand-numbered.
Page count and word count are tuned to the reader — not padded for a sense of substance, not cropped to save cost. Here's what a book looks like for each age band.
| Age band | Format | Pages | Word count | Reading style |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 — 1 | Square · 8.3″ | 16 | 50 — 75 | Read aloud, board-style |
| 1 — 2 | Square · 8.3″ | 16 | 50 — 150 | Read aloud, picture-led |
| 2 — 3 | Square · 8.3″ | 20 | 150 — 200 | Read aloud, simple arc |
| 3 — 4 | Square · 8.3″ | 24 | 350 — 500 | Read aloud with repetition |
| 4 — 5 | Square · 8.3″ | 28 | 450 — 650 | First self-reads |
| 5 — 6 | Square · 8.3″ | 30 | 500 — 700 | Early readers |
| 6 — 7 | Square · 8.3″ | 32 | 600 — 800 | Chaptered pages |
| 7 — 8 | Square · 8.3″ | 32 | 700 — 900 | Independent reading |
| 8 — 9 | Square · 8.3″ | 32 | 800 — 1000 | Richer vocabulary |
| 9 — 10 | Square · 8.3″ | 32 | 900 — 1100 | Complex arcs |
The ones we hear most. Anything we've missed? Ask us directly at hello@pagehundred.com.
Yes. The photo is encrypted in transit, used only to draw the avatar, and automatically deleted the day your book ships. We never store the photograph beyond the project — only a stylised character reference, and only if you opt in for future books.
You can regenerate the avatar, tweak your story prompt, or walk away — no card is charged until you approve the preview. We'd rather you not buy a book you don't love.
Yes. Two characters are included for free — siblings, friends, a child and a grandparent. Additional co-stars can be added at checkout.
The online journey takes about 8 — 12 minutes. After approval, we take roughly a week to render, QA, print, bind and post. Tracked shipping from there.
Pricing opens when we open. Expect the standard hardback to sit around £32 — £42 depending on page count, with the PDF keepsake as a small add-on. No surprise fees; the price you see before approval is the price you pay.
The first 500 families get early access and a hand-numbered Vol. I slip inside their book.
