Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

Last updated September 15, 2026

To cancel an order, return a book, or request a refund, use the contact form and include your order number.

Cancelling an Order

If you reach us before the postage label has been bought, we cancel the order and refund it in full. Once the label is bought, the order is on its way and becomes a return.

Returns

You have 14 days from delivery to request a return. Write to us before sending anything back; a return we are not expecting cannot be matched to an order. The book must come back in resalable condition, and a copy that has been written in, wetted, or had its spine broken cannot be refunded.

Return postage is yours to arrange and pay for, and we recommend a tracked service. We refund the purchase price once the book reaches us and has been inspected. The original postage is not refunded.

If a book arrives damaged, or is not the title you ordered, tell us within 14 days of delivery and include a photograph. We will send a replacement or issue a refund, and cover postage in both directions.

Refunds

Refunds are issued through Square, to the card used for the purchase, and Square sends its own confirmation by email. How soon the refund appears on your statement is determined by your bank.

Digital editions are free, so there is nothing to refund or return; report a broken file and we will replace it. Books bought through Amazon are subject to Amazon's returns process.
