ABOUT THE BOOKS
Do you offer digital versions of your books?
Nope! We decided long ago to stick to good old-fashioned paper. However, we frequently offer recipes in our newsletter (sign up!) and on our blog.
Where are the books printed?
We print our books at Circle Press in New York City.
How often do you publish new books?
We currently publish 6 editions each year, roughly every 2 months.
Who writes the books?
Each book is written by a different author. Our authors are some of America’s best food writers, cookbook authors, recipe developers, food stylists and restaurant chefs.
Who designs the books?
Our creative director, Rotem Raffe, designs all of the covers, illustrations and layout for each book.
How many recipes in the book?
Somewhere between 20 and 25 recipes, depending on the volume.
Are there any photographs?
Nope! We love food photography, but also think they photos often make cookbooks look dated. However we enjoy sharing photos of recipes from the books on our social media feeds and website—and we invite you to do the same.
Do your books go out of print?
No, or at least not for very long. We reprint editions whenever we run low on stock.
SHIPPING
We offer free domestic ground shipping on orders over $50 (to the contiguous US).
When will my order ship?
Orders placed after 3 pm ET will be shipped the following business day.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! You’ll be prompted to select your country at checkout. Note that some international shipping destinations may incur additional customs charges upon arrival, depending on the country.
Do you have expedited shipping?
Yes! We offer shipping services through USPS and UPS. During checkout, you can select and receive quotes for various shipping speeds. Orders placed after 3 pm ET will be shipped the following business day.
My tracking number isn't valid; help!
Our shipping system automatically generates a tracking number for every package we send, but the lovely USPS only recognizes tracking numbers for packages over a certain weight. If you ordered just one book, that means that your shipment was too light for the USPS to recognize. Never fear: your shipment will still be processed! If you ordered multiple books and your tracking number isn’t working, please contact hello@shortstackeditions.com and we’ll look into the issue.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Why should I buy a subscription?
- Because you never want to miss a Short Stack Edition again (and be the first kid on your block to receive each new book).
- Because you like saving money; in addition to a discounted rate, SSE subscriptions include free domestic shipping.
What types of subscriptions do you offer?
We offer two subscription types: “Regular” and “Gift.” All one year subscriptions are $75 and include 6 editions. Your subscription begins with the most recent edition, which will ship immediately, then the following subscriptions will ship as they are published. You can pause, cancel, restart, and manage your addresses online, at any time. Both types of subscriptions include free shipping within the contiguous US for the entire year!
I just moved. How can I update my subscription address?
You can manage your subscription online by logging in here! Subscriptions are linked to the email address that you provided during checkout. If you do not have an account, but have a subscription, you can create an account with the email addresses you provided during checkout to access your account. If you have any issues, please email us at: hello@shortstackeditions.com and please include the full name of the recipient, old and new addresses and your order number, if you have it.
Do you offer international shipping for subscriptions?
We do, but unfortunately this does incur additional shipping charges.
Canadian residents: shipping is $36 for the year.
All other residents outside the contiguous US: shipping is $55.50 for the year.
Can I give a subscription as a gift?
Of course! Short Stack Editions make excellent gifts! You can purchase a gift subscription (which does not auto-renew) here. You can also include an optional gift message that will be included with the order.
