Request A Book

Looking for a specific title that’s not currently listed in our shop? We’d love to help you find it. Through our Book Request Service, you can ask us to source a particular book from our trusted international partners.

This is part of our commitment to thoughtful curation, because every book you want to read matters.

📚 What You Need to Provide

To help us locate your requested book accurately and efficiently, please share the following details:

  • Title of the book
  • Author's full name
  • ISBN number (13-digit preferred)

You can send this information to us via WhatsApp, along with any specific preferences.

🔍 What Happens Next

Once we receive your request:

1. Availability Check

We’ll search for your requested title through our international sourcing network. This may take up to 3 working days.

2. Quotation & Pre-Order Window

If the book is available, we’ll share:

  • The final price (including international shipping, import duties, and local handling)
  • The next pre-order cutt-off
  • Estimated delivery time (typically 4–8 weeks after our supplier ships the book)

3. Payment & Confirmation

Once you approve the quote, we’ll share a secure payment link via WhatsApp. Please note that your requested book won’t be listed publicly on our website, it’s a private, one-time order created just for you.

4. Your Book is Officially on the Way

After your payment is confirmed, your request will be added to our ongoing pre-order batch, which runs from the 20th of this month to the 7th of the following month. 

📦 Important Notes

All book requests will follow our pre-order schedule and are treated as pre-orders. That means:

  • They are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled once paid.
  • Estimated arrival is 4–8 weeks after our supplier ships the book.
  • Delays may occur due to customs or publisher-side stock issues—but we’ll always communicate transparently.

Some books (e.g. out-of-print or special collector’s editions) may be harder to obtain—but we’ll do our best to offer alternatives if needed.

🐾 Why Request Through The Book Barks?

  • Every title we handle is part of our carefully curated experience, even if it starts with your wishlist.
  • A portion of every book sold goes toward helping dog shelters. Yes, even your one-off request contributes to something meaningful.
