Sunday Dates and Bank Holiday – Important Information

Please note that when your selected date was a Sunday or public holiday, we may not be able to recreate a newspaper of that date for the book. We would normally supply a newspaper from the following day, which would contain the news of what actually happened on your specified date. We will call you to confirm.

To check your day is a Sunday – click on ‘Match The Day With The Date’ on the Home Page.

There may be an occasional date where we cannot reproduce any newspaper, particularly if the date you require falls on an important historical event. Where this is the case, we will inform you of this by email and will give you the option of selecting another date or cancelling your order.
Where you choose to cancel your order, any sum debited by Signature Online Limited from your credit card will be re-credited to your account and Signature Online Limited will notify you of this by email at the email address which you provide in your order form. The refund will be made as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of the date of your cancellation of your order.
