Book GiveAway FAQs
What is the minimum number of books I can purchase?
You must purchase at least 30 copies of a single title to receive the giveaway bundle pricing. If you want to purchase fewer than 30 copies of a single title, please visit our online shop and request a quote at checkout.
How far in advance do I need to place my order?
Delivery speeds from publishers can vary. We recommend confirming your order at least 30 days before your giveaway event.
We reserve the right to decline a giveaway order if we do not believe we have sufficient time to process, receive, and deliver your order.
What is the maximum number of Books I can purchase?
There is no maximum number of copies of a single title unless the book needed is “temporarily out of stock” with the publisher.
Can I purchase books not on the book list?
You can purchase titles not featured on the giveaway book lists. The 30-copy minimum still applies, and we reserve the right to decline a request for a book if its price exceeds the bundle pricing or we cannot fulfill the order.
Can We resale the books we purchase?
You cannot resale a book purchased as part of the giveaway program. All books purchased must be distributed to readers at no cost.
Can I purchase across the bundle levels?
Yes, you can purchase across bundles to create a selection of books for different age groups and genres. The 30-copy minimum still applies.
