FAQ
Questions people actually ask
If yours isn't here, email us, a person replies, usually the same day.
Is this a colouring book?
No. Colouring is one of sixteen kinds of page. Calm has five slow colouring spreads in ninety-six pages. The rest is reflection prompts, journalling, brain dumps, breathing, grounding, visualisation, word exercises, small challenges and short rituals.
Is it therapy?
No, and we will never say it is. These books support reflection and everyday wellbeing. They make no medical or therapeutic claims. Every book carries a wellbeing note with real support numbers on page 4 and again at the back. If something needs more than a book, please talk to someone.
Do I have to do it every day?
No. There is no schedule, no day one, and nothing dated anywhere in the book. Deliberately, because a dated structure creates a way to fail. Some people do one page on a Sunday for a couple of months. Some do half the book on a train.
What's the difference between the digital and print editions?
The digital edition is the whole book as PDFs. A screen version for reading and annotating on a tablet, plus A4, US Letter and greyscale versions for printing at home. The print edition is a proper 170 × 240 mm paperback on uncoated paper, printed in two colours, posted to you.
How quickly do digital files arrive?
Immediately. You get a download link on the confirmation page and by email the moment payment clears. If it doesn't arrive, email hello@milimethod.co and we will send it again by hand.
Can I print the digital edition?
Yes. That's what the A4, US Letter and greyscale files are for. They are single-sided, low-ink, and have a hole-punch-safe margin so the pages go straight into a ring binder.
Will it work on an iPad?
Yes. The screen edition has real text and bookmarks, and it annotates well in GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app with a pencil.
Is it suitable as a gift?
It's one of the main reasons people buy it. Calm on a cover is a kind thing to hand somebody. Gift wrap and a handwritten card are £4.50 at checkout.
I bought the digital edition. Can I get the print one cheaper?
Yes. Email us and we'll take what you paid off the price of the print edition. It's not automated; a human will just do it.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Digital editions, everywhere, instantly. Printed books to the UK and Europe at the moment. Elsewhere, the Amazon paperback is the sensible route, it prints locally.
What if I don't like it?
Digital files can't really be returned once downloaded, so we do the next best thing: tell us within 30 days that it wasn't for you and we'll refund it, no questions and no form. Printed books, 30 days, unmarked.
Who makes these?
One person, in the UK, slowly. The writing, the drawing, the typesetting and the packing are all done by the same pair of hands.
Slow Post
An occasional letter. Not often, and never a sale.
One email a month at most. A page from whatever book is being written, a prompt worth keeping, and news when something is finished. Unsubscribe in one click; we will not mind.
Ten pages of Calm, free, as a PDF. We store your email address and nothing else, see the privacy notice.
