FAQs: BUYING A BOOK
ABOUT CREATE-A-BOOK® SA
Yes, it is the same company! We have been proudly serving South Africa since 1989. Despite many personalized book companies coming and going, we have remained a constant presence. In fact, some of our dealers have been with us so long that their children have taken over the business!

ABOUT OUR BOOKS
Our books are designed with high-quality assembly techniques to ensure they look like they’ve just been bought from a bookstore. The hardcovers are wipeable, offering durability and protection against damage.
We currently offer 25 titles, though this number may change as we periodically introduce new stories.
Currently, our books are only available in English, but we are working on adding Afrikaans versions.
The covers and illustrations in our books are in full color, while the text is printed in black. The illustrations are pre-printed, so you don’t need a color printer to produce the books.
ABOUT BUYING A BOOK
Each Create-A-Book® is unique and requires an order form to be filled out with personalized details. You can either contact your local Dealer directly to complete the order form, or reach out to us, and we will connect you with a Dealer near you. This helps minimize transport costs and ensures a quicker delivery.
Each book is personalized with unique details, making every book one-of-a-kind. Therefore, orders are necessary to ensure that the story includes the specific personal details of the recipient.
Typically, it takes about one day, but Dealers usually prefer 2 to 3 days to complete the order. Please check with your Dealer for the exact delivery time.
ABOUT DISTRIBUTORS IN THE AREA
Yes, we have a national Dealer network with representatives in most cities across South Africa. If there is no Dealer near you, we will locate the closest one to assist you.
ABOUT SEEING A BOOK YEARS AGO - SAME BOOKS AVAILABLE?
Yes, we are the same company. Our commitment to quality and service has remained constant since 1989.
Most likely, yes. We rarely discontinue our books, but if a title is discontinued by our USA office, we would also need to discontinue it locally.
