Frequently asked questions

Six is what fits our illustrated backing card, and it turns out to be the right size for a themed shelf: a TBR, a favorite series, or your five-star reads. Every set is exactly six tiny books.

You give us exactly six titles (authors help us find the right editions) and we recreate each cover in miniature. They are 3D printed in PLA, waterproof, and assembled by hand. The books are decorative and don't open.

Each mini book is about 1 × 1.4 inches and 0.25 inches thick. Shelves come in two sizes: Mini at 7 × 4 × 1.5 inches and Regular at 9 × 5 × 1.5 inches.

Yes. Add the edition you'd like (or a link) in the notes when you build your set and we'll match it as closely as we can. Special editions with sprayed edges and foiled covers reproduce especially well at this size.

Front, Back & Spine is the one you want for a shelf: a printed spine so the book reads correctly stood upright, with the real front and back covers. Double-Sided prints the front cover on both faces and skips the spine, which suits TBR jars and anywhere both sides are on show.

Plenty — a Regular shelf holds a whole reading year of them. Each product page shows the shelf styled with a full set so you can judge the fit.

Made to order from sturdy, plant-based PLA with a soft matte finish, in nine studio colors: sage green and camel tan through to navy blue, choco brown and midnight black.

Everything is made to order in small batches. Current production time is ⟨production time, e.g. 5 to 10 business days⟩, plus shipping, and it starts once we've confirmed your payment. You'll get an email the moment your order is in, and another when it ships.

⟨Shipping destinations and rates to be confirmed by the shop. This answer is an editable placeholder.⟩

That's exactly what Build Your Little Shelf is for. Choose a shelf, pick or customize a set of six, add tiny extras, and the whole bundle arrives together in our illustrated box.

Pick ₱500, ₱1,000 or ₱2,000 and pay by GCash or MariBank. Once we've checked your payment we make the card's code: it shows on your order page, and we email it to you or straight to your friend. To use it, type the code in the Gift card box at checkout. Anything you don't spend stays on the card for next time. A gift card is digital, so there's no shipping fee on it.

A gift card is good for 12 months from the day it's bought, and you can use it over more than one order. It can't be refunded or swapped for cash, and it can't be used to buy another gift card.

Very. Bundles arrive in our illustrated Little Bookshop box, book sets on their six-slot card, and keychains on an illustrated hanging card. Add a note during checkout and we'll tuck it in.
