Juniper Books Frequently Asked Questions

Juniper Books was founded in 2001 by Thatcher Wine. The company was born out of Thatcher's love of reading and collecting books. At first he sold rare books on eBay, then over the years evolved Juniper Books to do all the things we do today.

We now have a second website, JuniperCustom, dedicated to the made to order side of our business. Juniper Custom is the place to go for a pretty much infinite selection of book sets, book collections, and libraries. 

juniperbooks.com is where you will find our bestselling book sets with a pop culture focus, we try to keep them all in stock and ready to ship for all of your reading, collecting, and gifting needs!

We do not include pricing in our shipments, so they are all gift-ready!

You may select Unbranded Packaging from the Gift Options on the product page and we will ship your order discreetly, obscuring our Juniper Books logo and name on the outside of the box. 

• Please note, to choose the Unbranded Packaging option, please order through juniperbooks.com; this option is not currently available by ordering through the Juniper Books app.

If you received the wrong order, please email customer service a picture of what you did receive and your original order number.

We will cover the costs of shipping damaged books and incorrectly received books back to us, and get replacement books to you as soon as we can.

Some jackets may need to be adjusted once they arrive. This is often due to the paper books are printed on changing over time, when that happens the books get bigger or smaller. It can also happen with well loved books, their bindings expand over time as well. 

Please watch this video to learn how to adjust the jackets slightly to fit your books. If you need help, please email Customer Service.

Our jackets are tear resistant and durable. We recommend using a damp microfiber cloth to remove any smudges or other marks. Only the outer side of the jackets is laminated, so it is best for the inner side of the jackets not to come into contact with any moisture. 

Our book jackets are removable, and they should be treated similar to art prints when not wrapped around books.

We encourage having multiple sets of book jackets for your favorite books, then swapping them out whenever you feel like it!  When the jackets are not on the books, we suggest “nesting” the jackets together and storing them in a box. 

We accept returns of non-personalized items within 30 days after delivery. For returns requesting a refund, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs to our studio in Boulder, Colorado. For returns requesting store credit, or exchanges, return shipping is free within the US! For Colorado returns, the Colorado Retail Delivery Fee is non-refundable.

Jackets-Only customers, please watch THIS video. Our jackets-only product need adjusting once they arrive to your home, they are not a one-size-fits-all, but once you watch the video, we are confident you will be happy with your new set!

Juniper Books' original artwork is copyrighted by Juniper Books LLC and may not be reproduced without prior written permission. 

We invite you to visit Juniper Custom, a division of Juniper Books. Juniper Custom can reprint most of our retired designs and also curate and design a nearly unlimited number of new book sets, book collections, and libraries. 

When the new book comes out, we will offer a standalone option just for that single book with a jacket, and the jacket on its own, for several months after the release on Juniper Books. After that, it moves over to Juniper Custom under our Made to Order collection. See below for links for our current expanded offerings. 

Outlander - Go Tell the Bees that I am Gone

Blood and Ash - A Soul of Ash and Blood

Game of Thrones - Fire & Blood 

Our jackets are designed to fit hardcover editions for optimal alignment of the designs.

If your series is only available as paperbacks, our sister website, Juniper Custom, can provide a solution! Visit junipercustom.com for more information.

We want your book jackets to fit your books perfectly! Checking your ISBNs confirms that you have the books that our jackets were designed for. 

If you have any pre-order or post-order concerns about how to put jackets on your books and whether they will fit, we recommend watching this video we made. It demonstrates how to adjust the fit precisely, as the books may have loosened or expanded over time. 

ISBNs used to be 10 digits up until 2007 when they changed to a 13 digit format. In case you would like to double-check before you purchase the jackets, here is a handy tool to convert 10-digit ISBNs to their modern 13-digit counterparts:  

We typically do not include the original publisher jackets with our shipments.

We only sell brand new books, but our Juniper Custom division, and especially our Founder Thatcher Wine, have a lot of experience and expertise with rare books. 

We also recommend searching abebooks.com or abaa.org for specific books. 

Yes, we love hearing about your favorite books! Share your book set suggestions with us by emailing our customer service team. Please keep in mind, the books must be available as hardcover editions to be considered as a product offering. 

You may also consider contacting Juniper Custom about making a set just for you. 

We specialize in curating book sets with titles that have already published, so unfortunately we cannot help with the publication of your book. 

Possibly! If you are a bestselling author of popular fiction, please contact our product development team to have them evaluate the opportunity.

Please note that we only make our book sets using hardcover books and typically we ask for assurances that a book will stay in print in hardcover for multiple years. 

If you are looking to make a single special edition book set, or a small quantity for your own use, please visit Juniper Custom to commission a custom set.  

The style of the page edges on your book is intentional - this is called a deckled edge and is meant to resemble the look of early bookbinding techniques. It is a stylistic choice some publishers make to give books an antique look! Because the books in our sets are made by various publishers, some books may have this feature while others will not.

The Juniper Books trade program is open to interior designers, architects, developers, visual merchandisers, set decorators, and other design industry professionals. By enrolling in the program, you will enjoy a 20% discount on book sets available on Juniper Books.

We wish we could give to all of those who ask for a donation. We donate a lot of books every year to local causes in Colorado where we are based. Our primary focus is on supporting education and literacy initiatives.

We are a small company focused on producing very high quality book sets in limited quantities. We are not expanding our wholesale program at the current time. You may email customer service for future consideration. 

Our studio is located in Boulder, CO. While it is not a traditional brick-and-mortar shop, we do have a studio space and showroom that visitors may tour by appointment. Please contact us at customerservice@juniperbooks.com to make an appointment if you would like to stop by!

Unfortunately, there are websites selling our products unauthorized at deeply discounted prices, accompanied by our logo and photos. They are scams.

We have no affiliation with these websites and do not ship orders on their behalf.

If you've placed an order through one of these unauthorized sites, we strongly recommend canceling it immediately and contacting your card-issuing bank to inform them of what has happened. 

We are a small company that produces and assembles our products by hand in small batches, our discounts rarely exceed 25%, so if you see a product listed at a greater discount, it is most likely fake. 

Any time we become aware of a scam involving our products or imposter websites, we will add information about it to our Instagram highlights.

Please email customerservice@juniperbooks.com if you have any questions, thank you.
