FAQs

Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about blind dates with a book!

What does blind date with a book mean?

The meaning of “blind date with a book” is that you are buying a book (for yourself or a friend) without seeing it first. It’s the easiest way to avoid judging a book by its cover and you’ll never know what you’ll discover!

How does a blind date with a book work?

It’s simple! You pick a genre (or let me surprise you!) and I send you a book. While I can’t guarantee you’ll like it, just like a real-life blind date, you’ll at least get a story out of it!

Each book is lovingly wrapped in recycled brown paper and hand-stamped before being shipped to you in one of our recyclable poly-mailers.

How much does it cost to ship my blind date with a book?

Nothing! I keep things simple and offer free shipping on all orders.

Where can I buy a blind date with a book?

Here! In my store, you’ll find several genres. Pick one book or get a party pack to share with friends.

Can I get a blind date with a book subscription box?

Absolutely! Just pick your genre and rather than buying one book, choose the subscription option and I’ll send you a book in that genre every month.

What genres are available for your blind dates with a book?

We avoid some categories that are not as likely to be universally enjoyed (religious and self-help parenting books, for example). Some of our most popular genres are mystery and romance, but we have both fiction and non-fiction as well.

Check the store to see what genres you can choose from. And, if you can’t decide, pick a “surprise me” option and I’ll pick one for you!

How can I send a blind date with a book as a gift?

If you want the book to arrive at the recipient’s home, fill in YOUR information for the billing address. Then, in the “Order Information” box, let us know it’s a gift and give us their name and address.

Do you offer bulk pricing for blind dates with books?

Yes! Check out the “party pack” to get incredible deals if you buy 10, 25, or 50 books at a time. These are aimed at people buying for parties but also work well for businesses that want to resell them in their physical bookstores, coffee shops, or gift shops.
