What is Skeleton Steve?

Skeleton Steve is an original, long-running unofficial Minecraft-inspired adventure series written for kids, teens, and nostalgic gamers. The stories are designed to feel like playing through a Minecraft world—full of action, humor, danger, and character growth—while still encouraging real reading time away from screens.

What ages are the books for?

Most Skeleton Steve books are best suited for ages 8–13+, but many teens and adults enjoy them as well—especially readers who grew up with Minecraft or enjoy gamer-style fantasy stories.

Parents often tell me these books are perfect for:

• Reluctant readers
• Gamer kids who don’t usually enjoy “traditional” books
• Long car rides, quiet time, or bedtime reading

What formats are available?

Skeleton Steve books are available as:

• Ebooks (digital downloads)
• Paperback omnibuses (physical books)

Each format is sold separately.

What is a “Premium Paperback Omnibus”?

A premium paperback omnibus is a large, high-quality paperback that combines multiple full books into one volume.

Instead of buying lots of small, thin paperbacks like before, these omnibuses include:

• Complete seasons or full story arcs
• 5–6 books in one physical volume (sometimes more)
• Hundreds of pages of continuous reading

They are designed to be:

• More durable
• Better value per story
• Easier to keep track of (one book instead of many)
• Ideal as gifts or long-term keepsakes

This is why they cost more than the old individual paperbacks—they replace several books at once.

Why did you stop selling individual paperback books?

As a direct author selling outside of Amazon, producing lots of small paperbacks is inefficient and expensive.

Omnibus editions allow me to:

• Keep paperbacks available at all
• Maintain quality
• Reduce confusion for parents
• Deliver better value in one book

Going forward, paperbacks are only available as omnibus editions.

Where can I see all available paperback books?

You can find all Skeleton Steve paperback omnibuses in one place here:

👉 https://skeletonsteve.com/minecraft-paperbacks/

Each listing includes a direct link to purchase.

Are paperbacks shipped for free?

Yes. Standard shipping is included with paperback purchases.

Books are printed to order and shipped directly to you. Optional expedited shipping may appear at checkout, but standard shipping is included by default.

How long does shipping take?

Because paperbacks are printed to order:

• Production and shipping times may vary
• Most orders arrive within the estimated timeframe shown at checkout
• International shipping and customs processing may cause additional delays

These timelines are estimates, not guarantees.

Can I get a refund after purchasing a product?

No. All sales are final.

Here’s why:

Digital products (ebooks) are delivered electronically and cannot be returned, revoked, or verified as unused once accessed.

Paperback books are printed to order specifically for each customer and involve significant printing and shipping costs. As a direct author-to-customer product, refunds or returns are not possible for change of mind or buyer error.

What if my paperback arrives damaged or incorrect?

If your book arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with:

• Your order number
• Clear photos of the issue

Verified manufacturing or fulfillment issues may qualify for a replacement at our discretion.

Can I share or redistribute the ebooks?

No. All Skeleton Steve ebooks are sold for personal use only.

Purchasing an ebook does not grant permission to:

• Share files
• Upload to websites
• Redistribute or resell
• Use commercially

This helps keep the series alive and supports future books.

Are these official Minecraft books?

No. Skeleton Steve is an unofficial fan-inspired series and is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.

The books are original stories set in a Minecraft-like world, written to capture the feel of the game without copying it.

Why buy direct instead of Amazon?

Buying direct:

• Supports the author more directly
• Keeps the series alive outside of Amazon’s ecosystem
• Allows continued paperback availability
• Helps fund new books and future seasons

It also gives you access to premium omnibus editions not always available elsewhere.

I still have a question. How can I contact you?
