What do FAKKU Books cost?
Paperback editions are $24.95, and digital editions are $12.95. All prices are in USD.
Why do some paperback editions cost more?
A few books are more expensive to print—for instance by having a large number of color pages—and are therefore priced at $29.95/$14.95.
Artbooks (such as Milkyway) are typically full color and twice the size of a regular release (A4), and are therefore priced at $39.95.
Lastly, while the prices listed above are the norm, please note that some variation may occur for certain titles.

Support/Feedback
I bought a book but can't access it.
Generally it should take 2 - 3 minutes for the payment to process and the digital edition of a book to be granted to your account. Any longer than that and there is probably a problem. Send an email to store@fakku.net and include your Order ID number from the email you received from FAKKU.
How do I change my mailing address on a pre-order before it ships?
Go to your Order History on the store, click "View Order Information" for the order, and then click "Edit Shipping Address".
I found a typo in a book. How do I report it?
Use the contact form and submit it as "Report Grammar / Spelling Mistake."
I need help with something not listed in this FAQ.
The best way to get support is by emailing store@fakku.net for store related issues, or through the contact form for anything else.
