Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering decorative books from The Book Stylists. If your question is not answered here, please get in touch and we will be glad to help.
How are the books sold?
Most of our ranges are sold as curated sets, either per metre or per half metre, and our coffee table books come in sets of 8. Each product page states exactly what is included, such as the number of books and the length, so you know precisely what you are ordering.
How many books are in a metre?
It depends on the size of the books. As a guide, a full metre holds roughly 28 to 34 standard hardbacks, or up to 50 of our smaller vintage books. The exact count for each set is listed on its product page.
Can I choose a colour?
Yes. Several of our ranges offer a choice of colours, including black, blue, green, red, white and burgundy, all at the same price. Simply select your colour from the drop down on the product page. We can also colour match to your own scheme, fabric or paint on request.
Will I receive the exact books shown in the photo?
Because these are genuine vintage and decorative books, our stock naturally varies. You will receive a similar selection to the one shown, hand picked and curated to the same style, colour and standard. This is part of the charm, as every set has its own character.
Do you offer free delivery?
Yes, we offer free UK delivery on all orders. Because every selection is hand picked, we aim for a fast turnaround. If you are working to a deadline, let us know and we will do our best to meet it. International delivery is available on request, please contact us for a quote.
How do I pay?
Payment is taken securely through PayPal, which also lets you pay by debit or credit card. We also offer a bank transfer option on request. Just contact us by phone on [phone number] or email at [email address] and we will provide the details.
Can you help with a large or bespoke project?
Absolutely. This is what we do best. Tell us your colours, your shelf or table dimensions, the look you are after and your deadline, and we will hand pick a bespoke selection made for your project. We offer trade and bulk pricing for larger commissions.
Who do you work with?
We supply and style books for interior designers, set and prop designers, hotels, restaurants, bars, boutiques, estate agents, photographers, event stylists and private clients. From a single shelf at home to a full commercial library, we are happy to help with any project.
What condition are the books in?
Our books are chosen for display, so we select them for their looks. Some ranges, such as our worn and torn leather, are prized for their aged character, while others are cleaner and more uniform. Each product page describes the style and condition so you can choose the right look for your space.
Can I return my order?
Yes. If there is a problem with your order, please contact us within 14 days of delivery and we will put it right. Books must be returned in their original condition. As these are decorative items with naturally varying stock, the titles you receive may differ from those shown while matching the same style and standard.
