Questions

Is the message handwritten?

No, it's printed on the first page in a clean book font, exactly as you type it at checkout.

How long can my message be?

Up to 255 characters, about three or four sentences.

Can I order without a message?

Yes. Leave the message box empty at checkout and page one stays blank.

When will it arrive?

Order by October 30 and your copy arrives by mid-November.

I'm sending it as a gift to another country. Which prices do I choose?

Choose the country the book is going to, using "Change" at the top of the page. Each checkout only ships within its own country.

How is it shipped?

By standard, untracked mail. If your book hasn't arrived two weeks after the ship date, email me and I'll send a replacement.

Can each copy in a pack have a different message?

No, a pack has one message, printed in every copy. For different messages, place separate orders.

Which currency will I pay in?

US dollars in the US, pounds in the UK, and Australian dollars in Australia and New Zealand. Your bank converts it if needed.

I made a typo in my message. Can I fix it?

Yes. Reply to your receipt email within 48 hours with the correction, and I'll fix it before it goes to the printer.

What's your refund policy?

You can cancel for a full refund until your order goes to the printer: email me and I'll refund you straight away. Because each copy is printed with your personal message, I can't refund once it's been printed. If your book arrives damaged, or hasn't arrived two weeks after the ship date, email me and I'll send a replacement.

I live outside the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Can I get a personalized copy?

Not this time, sorry. Join the list above and I'll send you your local Amazon link on November 5.
