frequently asked questions

What does 'Blind Date with a Book' mean?

Blind date with a book is a literary concept where books are wrapped in paper to hide their covers and titles. This way, readers can choose a book based on genre and a few keywords written on the wrapping. It's a fun way to discover new books & authors without being influenced by their popularity or cover design.

Do our books include trigger warnings?

Our books may include content that could be triggering for some readers. We understand the importance of providing a safe reading experience for everyone, and we encourage customers to reach out to us if they have any concerns or questions about the content in our books. We are committed to addressing any queries and ensuring that our readers feel supported and heard.

Who wraps the books & can I request a specific wrapping style?

The book wrapping to us is such a special and important part of the experience so we do all of the wrapping ourselves to ensure that each book meets our high quality standards. Our books are not wrapped to order therefore we can't take specific wrapping requests at this time.

What if I'm unhappy with the book I receive?

We value customer satisfaction above all else and want you to be happy with your book however there is always an element of risk that comes with buying a book in this way. Please contact us if you have any problems with your order and we will be happy to assist from there.

Who are your books suitable for?

Our books are designed to cater to all ages and promote inclusivity. We believe that everyone should have access to quality literature, regardless of their age, gender, race, or background. Our range of titles ensures that there is something for everyone, from children's books to adult fiction. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.

Can you tell me more about the quality of your books?

We offer both new & preowned options and you can find out more about our books, how we grade them and how we categorise them by visiting here

Does your included sweet treat cater to dietary requirements?

Absolutely, yes! Being gluten free ourselves we know how disappointing it can be to not be included. We offer a plant based frothy coffee which can be selected during checkout and there is also the option to specify any further dietary requirments.

What if the book I receive is one I have already read or own?

Buying online is a little different to buying with us in person as you won't be able to see the clue cards beforehand however we do encourage you to share your Goodreads link during checkout so we can make sure it isn't already on your list. You can also use this space to let us know anything else that might help us when choosing your book but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you won't receive something you have already read or may own.
