How it works

Plain answers to common questions.

What do the fantasy names mean?

The Realms:: Shop by genre. Each realm is one genre shelf.
The Hoard:: Every book we have, in one place, with search and filters.
Satchel:: Your cart.
Mystery Chests:: A surprise bundle of 3 books Jenn picks for the mood you choose.
Roll for a Book:: A random book pick. Roll a 20 for a discount code.
Ask the Dragon:: A short quiz that recommends books we have in stock.
Bounty Board:: Ask us to find a specific book. We email you when we do.
Feed the Dragon:: Sell, trade or donate your used books.
Ledger:: Your reader profile with badges (coming soon).

Each realm is a genre: The Romantasy Isles = Romantasy · The Haunted Moors = Horror · The Mystery Fens = Mystery & Thriller · The Epic Peaks = Fantasy · The Starfall Coast = Science Fiction · The Old Kingdom = Classics · The Little Realm = Children's · The Hearthside Town = Contemporary Fiction · The Time-Worn Road = Historical Fiction · The Scholars' Tower = Non-Fiction · The Inkwell Harbor = Graphic Novels & Manga · The War Table Keep = Tabletop & Gaming.

What does rarity mean?

Rarity is based on the book's value and special features.

Common: $8 and under
Uncommon: $9-11
Rare: $12-18
Epic: $19-45
Legendary: $46+

Signed, first printings and limited editions move up one tier. Epic and Legendary books show their edition proof.

What is an edition proof?

We checked the copyright page and the known points for this edition. Results are always 'likely', because only a hands-on check is certain. Tap the wax seal on a rare book to see what we checked.

Do you ship?

Yes, within the US. Every book is packed in bubble wrap and a padded mailer. [SHIPPING COSTS AND TIMES]

Can I return a book?

[RETURNS POLICY: Jon and Jenn to fill in.]

What are the live shows?

We sell books live on Whatnot most nights. You can watch, bid and chat. See the schedule and get a reminder.

Can I sell or donate my books?

Yes. Use Feed the Dragon to tell us what you have and get an estimated offer in store credit or cash. Offers are an estimate until we check the books. Drop off in Palmetto, mail them (free label for 5+ books), or we pick up big collections (50+ books or $300+) within 100 miles.

How do I reach you?

Send a raven to keeper@dragonlorebooks.com. Jon and Jenn read every message, usually within a day. More on our About page.
