"Fascinating letters! Tin Box Letters takes you back to the Alaskan Gold Rush." - Kathy W., Verified review
Let customers speak for us
Awesome! I gave this as a gift and she is in love with it. She is almost done and I will have to get her a new series in june
My granddaughter is enjoying the letters!
I bought this for my Mom.... she absolutely loves that there are little snip its of mysteries to solve, and the information that comes with the letters to set the scene are amazing.
My mother in law is loving these. We got them as a Christmas gift and we hit the nail on the head. It's perfect!
I was excited to buy two subscriptions for very unique Christmas gifts. The CS I received during the order process was great! Unfortunately, only one of the recipients received the first letter on time, but the second one hasn't received it considerably after the outside expected delivery date. Once again, however, the "team" has been very pleasant about trying to rectify the problem. When all gets back on track, it will hopefully become a 5-star rating.
Addendum: I am happy to change my rating to 5 Stars! The TBL CS "team" took immediate action when I advised them of the delivery problem for one of my orders. Both the first and second letters of the series were delivered on the same day and my family is now enjoying the TBL journey!!
I am super pleased with The Tin Box Letters. Very thorough and truly interesting compilation of period facts interwoven into the main characters experiences. The puzzles are a bonus too!!
I bought this for my friend but it came to me. Can you help me please. Jan Maatje
Was a gift for my mother and she is loving it. Told me that she is looking forward to getting the mail for the 1st time in a long time. Highly recommend this.
The Tin Box Letters take you back to the Alaskan Gold Rush! I love the puzzles and peak into life then.
eview for Finch and Hawk Letters
Finch and Hawk Letters is a fun and educational adventure about the Gold Rush. The letters and cards look real and are full of great details. The story is exciting, and the puzzles are creative and enjoyable. A great way to learn history while having fun! Can’t wait for the next letter !
I am enjoying these letters, following the adventure.
I am waiting for my 3rd letter! I have so enjoyed these letters since I enjoy American history. I like to learn about different states and time periods. What is going to be so fun is that I am going back on a Alaskan cruise this September....when I am in Skayway...Dyea is just a few mile away! I am excited to hear what the next storyline will be? Hopefully soon!
I got the first envelope of Tin Box Letters’ Klondike Letters, and wow, it’s so cool! It’s about a journalist going to the Klondike in 1897, writing about the trip. The story is fun and easy to read. The paper looks old, like it’s from that time, and some words are faded, which I love—it feels so real! There are postcards, too, with pictures and notes that look like they’re from the Klondike. They make the story more exciting, like I’m there. I’m so happy with it and can’t wait for the next one. If you like history or stories, you’ll like this!
