Shop FAQ
Is buying direct really cheaper?
Yes. Because no marketplace fee is involved, Mimi can price direct copies a little below Amazon and run promotions here. Each book card shows the direct price, with the Amazon price beside it where there is one, so you can choose.
How do I pay?
After you send your order, Mimi emails you a payment link or bank details.
How long does delivery take?
UK delivery. Mimi confirms postage and timing by email.
What is a digital edition?
The complete book, readable online in your browser with a personal reading code. It is not a download: the pages open in the online reader on this website.
Can I still buy on Amazon?
Of course. Most cards have an Amazon button, and the Mimi Maple author page lists the current editions.
