The books
Where can I buy Blessford books?
Our titles are released as paperbacks through Amazon. Each book page on this site links to its Amazon listing as soon as that title is on sale; until then it is marked “Forthcoming”.
Are the pages single-sided?
Yes. Every illustration is printed on one side of the sheet only, so markers and gel pens cannot damage another picture.
What paper are the books printed on?
Interiors are printed in black ink on white paper by Amazon’s print-on-demand service, with a matte cover. For wet media such as alcohol markers we recommend slipping a spare sheet behind the page you are working on.
Which books are right for young children?
The Big Bold Series is drawn for ages 3 to 5 and the Little Helpers Series for ages 6 to 8. The Cozy Cottage Series suits ages 3 and up. Age guidance is printed on every cover.
How are the illustrations made?
With digital illustration tools, including AI-assisted image generation, working to a written style guide for each series. Every page is then checked against measured line-quality standards and reviewed before it is accepted. See our Standards page for the full process.
Orders and support
My copy arrived damaged or misprinted. What should I do?
Because copies are printed and shipped by Amazon, the quickest remedy is a replacement through “Your Orders” on Amazon. If the fault is in the artwork itself, please write to us so that we can correct the file.
Do you sell directly or ship internationally?
We do not sell from this website. Availability outside the United States depends on the Amazon marketplace in your country.
May I photocopy pages for my classroom or group?
Our books are protected by copyright, and the copyright page of each title sets out what is permitted. For classroom, library or care-setting use, please write to us; see Trade & licensing.
