Our titles are available in paperback and eBook (ePub). Paperbacks are printed on demand and distributed through IngramSpark—worldwide shipping is available. ePub files are delivered instantly after purchase and are compatible with all major eReaders, including Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and Adobe Digital Editions.

Payhip sends your download link automatically by email as soon as your payment is confirmed. Check your spam folder if you do not see it within a few minutes. Your download link remains active for 30 days and allows up to 5 downloads. If you have any trouble accessing your file, contact us at tyler@thistleandthread.org and we will sort it out.

Yes. Amazon's Kindle app and most Kindle devices support ePub files directly (as of 2022). If your device requires a different format, free tools like Calibre can convert ePub files to MOBI or AZW3 without any loss of quality.

Paperbacks are printed on demand through IngramSpark and ship from whichever print facility is closest to your location. Because each copy is printed specifically for your order, please allow 3–5 business days for printing before your order ships. Transit time is additional and varies by destination.

Print-on-demand paperbacks are non-returnable, as each copy is printed specifically for your order. If your book arrives damaged or with a printing error, please photograph the issue and contact us at tyler@thistleandthread.org—we will arrange a replacement at no cost to you. eBook purchases are non-refundable once the file has been downloaded.

Yes—your Amazon purchase and your Payhip purchase are separate transactions, but there is no restriction on owning both formats. If you bought the paperback on Amazon and want the eBook, purchase it here directly.

If you are a library, bookstore, or institution interested in purchasing multiple copies or arranging a wholesale order, please reach out directly at tyler@thistleandthread.org. We are happy to discuss what works for your situation.
