Because we are a small independent bookstore, we can only offer returns or exchanges on unopened, unused items within 14 days of purchase. Books must be in new condition, and Blind Date With a Book purchases are final (to keep the surprise intact!). If you ever have an issue or concern with an order, just reach out, we’re always happy to help.

We aim to process and fulfill most orders within 1-3 business days. We have a very small team, so there are occasions in which orders can take up to 5-7 business days to be processed.

If you pre-order a signed edition of a book, please keep in mind that the books do not come to us signed, therefore we have to schedule a signing with the author, and timing can vary widely depending on their availability. Sign up for our email newsletters to get updates on pre-orders, signing dates, and our estimated packing and shipping timeline.

You’ll receive a confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as your package is on the way.

Yes! Our e-gift cards work both on our website and in-store at Spare Time Books. Just enter the gift card code at checkout (online) or show the email at the register (in person).
