Book Clubs

We love being part of your book clubs at Hills & Hamlets. Whether you’re reading with friends, co-workers, or your community, we’re happy to help by ordering books for your book club. We’ve created a few guidelines to help us stay organized and provide you with the best experience possible.

Placing your order

If you’d like to place a bulk order for your book club, please email us at orders@hillsandhamletsbookshop.com, call us, or place the order in person.

When placing your order, please provide:

Please place your order with us at least 30 days before you need your books. While we do our best to accommodate your timeline, availability can change quickly. Many titles (especially new releases) can go out of stock quickly, and warehouses may need a few weeks to restock and ship. Because of this, the sooner you place your order, the better!

Payment

All orders must be paid for in full at the time the order is placed. We recommend that each book club designate one point person to coordinate the order, payment, and pickup. This helps us keep the process simple and ensures that everyone receives their book at the same time.

Hills & Hamlets will not distribute individual books to members of the book club. The entire order must be picked up together by the designated point person.

Pickup

Once your books arrive at Hills & Hamlets, we will inspect them to ensure that they have arrived in good condition. We will then e-mail, text, or call your designated point person to let you know that the order is ready for pickup.

We will hold the requested books for two weeks from the day they arrive at Hills & Hamlets.

Orders that are not picked up within two weeks will be returned to the publisher. No refunds will be given, as payment will now serve as the cost to store the books, as well as the cost and time it takes to pack up the books and ship them back.

Changes to your order

Communication is key! If there are any changes to your book club selection, meeting date, quantity, or pickup plans, please let us know as soon as possible. You may e-mail us at orders@hillsandhamletsbookshop.com.

Once a bulk order has been placed with our distributor or publisher, we may not be able to make changes or cancellations. We’ll always do our best to work with you when circumstances change.

A note about availability

Please note that placing an order does not always guarantee immediate availability. Occasionally, a title may be out of stock, temporarily unavailable, or backordered.

Book club support

If you’re looking for your next book club selection, we’d be happy to help. Let us know what your group enjoys reading and we’d be glad to point you towards some new possibilities.

Please note that we are currently not taking requests to host book clubs in our space.

Thank you for choosing to shop local and for allowing Hills & Hamlets to be part of your reading community.
