Before you buy

Anything else, write to hello@marginbooks.com. A bookseller answers.

  • Hardcovers have a cloth spine and a paper jacket, and they keep well on a shelf. Paperbacks are lighter and cheaper, good for a bag or a commute. The ebook is an EPUB file we email to you, so it opens on most e-readers and phones.
