FAQs
What is Venus Volumes?
Venus Volumes is a European Book Box that creates exclusive limited-edition romance hardcovers designed as collectible works of art.
We release curated editions through a bi-monthly subscription as well as select limited, one time preorder drops.
Each release focuses on a single carefully chosen title and author, reimagined with illustrated covers, foiling, printed edges, custom endpapers, and signed overlays or bookplates.
Subscriptions renew automatically every two months, on the 17th of every even month (December, February, April etc.) and one time preorder drops open on the 20th of the same month and stay open until sold out or up to 2 weeks depending whichever is applicable based on author limits.
Waitlist invites are sent out between the 16th and 19th of the subscription month.
What comes in a Venus Volumes box?
Each box holds one carefully chosen romance title and author, reimagined as an
exclusive limited edition. Our editions may feature naked hardcovers, foils and
embossing, printed or stenciled edges, custom endpapers, interior art, and signed
overlays or bookplates. Every detail is crafted in collaboration with authors and
artists to make the book feel like a trophy worth keeping.
What genres do you feature?
We celebrate the full spectrum of romance: contemporary, dark romance, pitch
black, paranormal, and romantasy.
For every mood and every shade of romance, because readers are as
layered as the stories they love.
Are these special editions?
Yes. Every Venus Volumes book is an exclusive special edition, created just for our
readers. Features vary from title to title, from cover illustrations and foils to printed edges and interior illustrations.
How does the waitlist work?
Join our waitlist to secure your place. We send invites to join our subscription before each renewal date, on the 16th of the renewal month.
Sometimes we surprise you with a limited batch of invites before our surprise drops. In this case for those who want to skip the invite and wait until the author announcement we will include them in the next title invites set.
How much will it cost?
Our subscription bimonthly boxes cost the equivalent of 50 EUR in your currency plus taxes and shipping. Shipping costs and taxes are calculated at checkout, and additional customs duties or local taxes may apply depending on your country’s rules.
Our one time preorder boxes cost the equivalent of 55 EUR in your currency plus taxes and shipping. Shipping costs and taxes are calculated at checkout, and additional customs duties or local taxes may apply depending on your country’s rules.
How does billing work?
Once you accept your invitation you are charged immediately, and with the
subsequent month billing occurs bi-monthly on the 17th of every even month
(December, February, April etc.). This ensures your book is reserved before
production begins.
Can I skip or cancel?
Yes. We know not every box will fit every mood, and that’s okay. You can skip up to
the 14th of your renewal month if you’d prefer to pass on that edition as we
allow unlimited skips.
You may also cancel your subscription any time before renewal directly through
your account.
Will you announce the book before I am billed?
Yes.
We always reveal details before billing so you can decide whether to keep or skip.
Author and/or title reveals are estimated on the 5th of the billing month for subscribers and one-time preorder drops on our social media. Additional reveals of the cover and art are shared between the 6th and 13th of the subscription month.
Keep an eye on our socials for the reveals!
When do boxes ship?
Boxes ship in average 16 weeks after the close of the one-time preorder date for both the subscription and one-time preorder drops.
This timeline ensures every detail is produced with care and quality.
Where do you ship?
We ship worldwide from our base in EU. Shipping costs and taxes are calculated at checkout, and additional customs duties or local taxes may apply depending on your country’s rules.
What about your packaging?
Our packaging is eco-friendly and recyclable, because we care for the stories we send and for the world we share.
What is your refund policy?
Because every edition is printed based on demand after skips, we cannot offer refunds once an order or renewal has been processed.
If you wish to skip or cancel, please do so before the 14th ( 3 days before renewal date on the 17th of every even month) and remember that we provide an unlimited skips policy.
For one time preorder drops the same above terms apply.
