Who it's for
A couple at a significant anniversary — the length is the point, so it suits a 25th or 40th better than a 2nd.
Which book to use
Seven letters needs 450+ pages, which rules out most paperbacks. A single thick hardback works; so does splitting FOR and EVER across two matched books, which some people prefer for the way it reads.
Where it ends up
Long and low. It needs a mantelpiece or a wide shelf — on a narrow one the end letters overhang and the word stops reading.
How long it takes
Seven letters over 450 pages is several evenings. Anniversaries are known well in advance; use that.
What FOREVER does under the folds
Three Es and two Rs mean a lot of repeated horizontals, which is forgiving. The V is the weak point — it comes to a point at the bottom, and that point is the first detail a thin book loses.
Every sheet of a folded book shows exactly one band, so a letter is only as detailed as the number of pages behind it. At 450 pages, FOREVER gets roughly 32 sheets per letter. If your book is thinner than that, the Book Fit Check above will say so — and offer splitting the word across two books, which is often the better answer. See choosing the right book for how to check page count before you buy.
How many pages do I need to fold FOREVER?
About 450 pages. FOREVER is 7 letters, and each letter needs roughly 60 pages — about 30 folded sheets — to stay crisp. You can go as low as 300, but at that thickness the strokes start merging into each other.
