Looking for a memorable gift for that beloved young person or favorite educator in your life? Nothing beats a signed or personalized book.

At BOOKS WITH FLAIR, you're able to give tales that thrill, stories that entertain, and beautiful books to inform the imagination and tickle a young person's fancy.

You'll also be supporting some of the finest businesses in the country — community booksellers, who help keep our choices of fiction and non-fiction deep and wide.


Authors and illustrators, here's how to participate, and Indie booksellers, these instructions are for you. Ready to shop?

How to Shop

Browse the sidebar to find books by suggested age or grade of reader, genre, author, or bookseller (scroll below this post to see all books available.)  Once you've picked a book, call the bookstore and ask for a signed and/or personalized copy (phone numbers are highlighted in green on this site). Factor in at least a week for shipping, and mention Books With Flair so the store will know where you found your gift.

You pay for the book(s), shipping, and handling, and bookstores will ship signed stock in time for the occasion, gift-wrapped if you request it. PLUS if the author or illustrator is local and amenable, he or she will scoot to the indie and personalize the book to your young reader by name before the store wraps and ships it.

Note: Personalized books will typically be available but for books signed generically, I offer no guarantees — it's first come, first served, limited by stock (but I'll try to keep the site updated.)
