A few good answers.

Cover Snob is a sprayed-edge book box celebrating the works of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) romance authors. Every book is hand-selected and enhanced with custom-designed edges that complement the cover.

The books included in the subscription are for adult readers aged 18 and over, unless otherwise stated.

Most romance books are published as trade paperbacks. We request hardback editions wherever possible, but publisher minimum print-run requirements mean they are not always available.

Limited editions are individual purchases and are not automatically sent to subscribers. Subscription selections are sent to subscribers unless they opt out of that box.

We order extra copies whenever possible. Once they arrive, overstock is announced and added to the shop. Availability is limited, so join the email list for announcements.

In-stock books are shown with photographs of the physical book and its edges. Pre-orders are shown with digital mockups. Please also read the individual product description for its status and timeline.

Cover Snob is a bi-monthly subscription, with box months in February, April, June, August, October, and December. Subscriptions are currently closed; join the waitlist for reopening news.

Box subscribers receive an exclusive discount on books and first access to pre-order single-purchase books. Available benefits and selections are shared in subscriber announcements.

Email support@coversnob.com with your purchaser name and email, photos of both the packaging and damage, and an explanation. We review each case individually. Replacements for damaged or missing bookish items depend on available supplies; final resolutions are at the discretion of the Cover Snob team.

Our edges are digitally printed on bound books, with airbrushed tops and bottoms. Cosmetic issues not covered include dents under 2 cm; edge bleed less than 3 cm onto the page; jacket or cover tears under 1 cm; damage on blank pages; and spine paint bleed under 1 cm.

Imperfect editions are offered at a reduced price because of more noticeable cosmetic issues, such as page paint bleed over 3 cm, torn jackets over 1 cm, scratched edge paint over 1 cm, or paint splatter over 1 cm on the uncovered spine. Read the product details before purchasing.

Contact support@coversnob.com as soon as possible. Customers are responsible for correct delivery details and reshipment fees caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses. If the return was made in error, we will work with you to identify a resolution.

We use USPS. Packages are usually scanned within 24 hours, and transit can take 5–10 business days. Check your address and tracking first. If tracking has not updated for more than 72 hours or the box has not arrived after 10 business days, email support. For a delivered scan without a package, allow another 48 hours for a possible mis-scan or delivery to a neighbor.

In your account, select your Cover Snob subscription, edit Delivery Preference, add the new address, and save shipping options. When prompted, choose whether to apply it to already-charged orders that have not shipped. Contact support if you need help.
