Ingram's Two Rivers is distributing TDM Publishing in the U.S., beginning with the 36 titles of the Your First 18 Years series in October.
With headquarters in the Netherlands, TDM has published the series in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France, and the U.K. In 2025, the series is being published in Germany and Italy in addition to the U.S. The series is an annual compilation of facts, photos, events, stars, and more, all "that made our years of youth so special." Running from 1950 to 1985, the U.S. editions are written for U.S. audiences and run for the 18 years of each annual edition, i.e., Born in 1950 includes information from 1950 through 1968. The books include QR codes that link to 180 songs (10 for each of the 18 years of each book).
Thars Duijnstee, CEO of TDM Publishing, commented. "We are excited to partner with the Ingram team to enter the U.S. market. My First 18 Years is a proven bestselling series generating profit for retail partners around the world. It is a distinctive concept that celebrates our memories of youth. The books highlight stars and events and often triggers forgotten memories. The U.S. series has been written, edited, and illustrated by a U.S. team to make sure we hit all the right notes for American readers."
Nick Parker, v-p of Ingram Content Group, commented, "To be able to bring TDM's titles in the U.S. is such an honor. The My First 18 Years series is bursting with nostalgia and iconic images for multiple generations."
