Good to know
What if I change my mind?
Before Amy starts, your deposit is refunded in full. You never pay the balance unless you approve the book.
What if I don't like the proof?
Tell Amy what feels wrong, page by page. Nothing is printed until you approve every page.
Can I send it straight to someone?
Yes. Add their address and a gift message, and we leave prices off the packing slip.
Can I switch books later?
Yes, until you pay your deposit. After that, just ask Amy.
