OPTIONAL: If there are one or more particular spines you'd like, please email image(s) of them to info@idealbookshelf.com. You must also supply the author and title and click Add Book.
HOLIDAY DEADLINES: For U.S. delivery of a custom mug, order by December 9. (We can't control the carriers and therefore can't guarantee delivery, but will do absolutely everything in our power to get it to you by December 24th!)
Drink your coffee out of your books! All you have to do is choose the size of mug you'd like, then pick your favorite books from our list. You can also browse the full book list here.
This sturdy 11 ounce (i.e., normal size) or 15 ounce (more coffee!) white ceramic mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe. There are books all the way around it, so it works beautifully for both coffee and tea drinkers, and for both righties and lefties.
PLEASE NOTE: Usually about 22-25 books fit a best on an 11 ounce mug, if they are normal contemporary novels. If you're picking thin children's books instead, then definitely choose the full 25 books, and if they are thick epic novels from the 1800s, probably 20 is best. For a 15 ounce mug, which is the same diameter but taller, it takes less books to go around, so 20 is the maximum.
Lead Time
Lead Time
Custom mugs are designed by Jane and printed on demand, and usually take 2-3 weeks to ship. But let us know if you have a specific deadline you're hoping to meet and we'll try our best to make it happen! If you add a book(s), that can add up to a week. They come in a plain cardboard box, not our normal red and white branded box.
Book Orientation & Arrangement
Book Orientation & Arrangement
On mugs the books fit best lined up next to each other (instead of stacked on top of each other). Jane will use the editions of books (if there are multiple possibilities) that look best together, and will arrange them in the most aesthetically pleasing way. If you would like Jane to use a particular edition of a book you have seen in another one of her prints, please describe the spine AND tell us which print you saw it in.

Books! Beautifully drawn! What's not to like?
I ordered a custom mug as a birthday present and it looks fabulous. The colors are bright, the titles are very readable and the images are recognizable. It’s perfect!
Far and away my favorite mug now! The artwork is incredible and it makes my mornings better to look at some of my favorite books with my morning coffee or tea. I try to use it during work meetings so that people will ask me about my mug :) If you're on the fence, just buy it.
Also the lead time was accurate and shipping was pretty fast.
I am so very glad you like it!! ;D
