The Book Porch is a friendly little bookstore with a big welcome. Every book here is printed just for you when you order it and shipped straight to your door — and if you've written a book of your own, there's a place for it on our shelf.
Put the Porch on your phone's home screen — it opens full-screen like a regular app, with the whole shelf a tap away. It's free, and there's no app store and no account to deal with.
You're reading this in the app right now — it's already on your device.
On a phone, the button walks you through it. On a computer, open this page on your phone to add it.
The newest additions to the shelf — our latest book, in print and in audio.
The first two books ever listed on the Porch — the ones that started it all.
Take a look around. Every paperback is printed fresh when you order it; every audiobook is a download we email to you after checkout. Tap a cover or title for the full story — and a taste of the opening pages where we have them.
Try another search, author, or category — or browse all books.
No boxes in a garage, no warehouse, no guessing how many copies to print. Here's the whole trip a book takes, from your order to your doorstep.
Pick a title and check out securely with your card. That's the starting gun — nothing is printed before this moment.
Our printing partner, Lulu, prints and binds your copy fresh — usually within a few business days — in a package carrying The Book Porch's name, not theirs.
The book is mailed straight to you. Printer to porch, simple as that — which is why a title here is never out of stock. Audiobooks skip the printer: we email your download link after checkout.
The practical stuff — ordering, shipping, timing, and how the money side works for authors.
Pick the book, tap its Buy button, and check out with a card through our secure checkout. Paperbacks are printed just for you and shipped to your door; audiobooks arrive as a digital download by email.
Books are printed to order, so expect roughly 5–10 business days from order to doorstep, depending on the printer and the carrier.
Right now shipping is US-only. If you're elsewhere and want a book, send us a note — write to bonds952003@gmail.com and we'll see what we can do.
No. Every paperback is printed one at a time when it's ordered, so there's no stock to run out of. Your copy is made for you.
Every book is printed one at a time by our print partner — that's real paper, ink, binding, and postage, not a warehouse fire sale. The price covers printing, secure checkout fees, and shipping, so the author earns their share on every copy.
Write to us at bonds952003@gmail.com with a photo of the problem and your order details. We'll make it right — reprint or refund, your call. If we messed up the order, refunds are full and no-hassle; changed-your-mind returns on printed books are handled case by case, since each copy is printed for one reader.
After checkout, we email your download link to the address you used at checkout — usually within a day. It's a full-book download of standard MP3 chapters in one file bundle, playable on phones, tablets, and computers — and yours to keep.
Use the Sell Your Book form below. There are no listing fees — you earn 70% of the profit on every copy sold, paid monthly. You keep full rights to your book, and you propose the price; we confirm it works with print costs before it goes live. Our on-demand print partner prints each copy when a reader orders it — no inventory, no warehouse, no minimum orders.
We don't post star ratings we made up — we'd rather hear from real readers. Leave a few honest words about a book you've read, and they'll come straight to us. With your permission we may share your words (and first name) here on the porch.
When a new title lands on the shelf, we'll send one friendly email — no noise, no daily blasts. Just the new book, and maybe a good word about it.
You wrote it — we print it and ship it. Every book is printed on demand after a reader orders it, so the store holds no inventory.
Prefer to write freely? Just email the same details to bonds952003@gmail.com with the subject above — please include your book title, author name, description, and price.
