Frequently Asked Questions

Hardcover feels premium, holds up better, and displays nicely; paperback is lighter and cheaper. For collectors, pick hardcover or special editions.

For classics and fantasy (e.g., Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Pride and Prejudice), illustrated/annotated editions add lasting value and are great keepsakes.

Picks with broad appeal: Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby. Include a gift receipt just in case.

Harry Potter for an accessible series with rising complexity; The Hobbit for a single, timeless adventure that can lead to LOTR.

7 Habits is a leadership/life system; The Power of Habit is behavioral science for daily change. Both gift well; add a notebook/pen.

Print is the classic gift; audiobook works for commuters or multitaskers. Some buyers gift both (print to own, audio to finish).

Check the ISBN, publisher, and translator (where applicable). Save those details in the Wishdeck item so shoppers get the exact one.
