We offer three types of personal subscriptions: Print, Digital and Gift

Print subscriptions include 12 issues (one year) of BookPage delivered to your address each month. Your first issue will arrive 6-9 weeks after you place your order (for example, a subscription purchased in January will begin with the March issue). Print subscriptions automatically renew each year so you never miss an issue. 

Digital subscriptions include 12 digital issues (one year) of BookPage delivered to your email on the first of the month. Your first issue will arrive the month following your order (for example, an order placed in January will begin with the February issue). Each month, you can read the issue as a flippable digital magazine, downloadable pdf or on your ereader with our epub version. Digital subscriptions also include access to the last year’s archive, giving you 24 total issues.  Digital subscriptions automatically renew each year so you never miss an issue. 

Gift subscriptions include 12 print issues (one year) of BookPage delivered directly to your recipient’s address. Their first issue will arrive 6-9 weeks after you place your order (for example, a subscription purchased in January will begin with the March issue). Gift subscriptions do not automatically renew.

Print subscribers typically receive their first issue 6 to 9 weeks after purchase. For example, if you order a subscription in the month of June, the first issue you’ll receive will be the August issue of BookPage.

Issues typically arrive via USPS by the 10th of the month; however we can’t guarantee or predict a specific arrival date. If you don’t receive your issue by the 20th of the month, please fill out this form so we can mail you a replacement copy.

Your gift recipient will only be notified by BookPage about their new subscription if you select “Have BookPage notify them” at checkout.

At checkout, you are asked “How should your gift recipient be notified” with two options: 

  1. Have BookPage notify them: BookPage will send an email to you recipient with subscription details immediately after purchase. You have the option to provide a gift note that your recipient will also receive in the email.
  2. I’ll notify them myself: BookPage will not communicate with your recipient. Instead, this option provides the gift giver with a “gift notice” (printable PDF) to give to your recipient to let them know about their new BookPage subscription. 

We’re sorry to hear that your issue didn’t make it to you.
