I'm Janine, the publisher, editor, designer (and customer service, too!) of this one-woman operation. 

UPPERCASE creates beautiful and inspiring books for the creative and curious. Published since 2009, UPPERCASE has an enthusiastic and loyal readership of designers, illustrators, craftspeople, creative entrepreneurs and paper lovers around the world. Ads-free, with high-quality production values and a unique design aesthetic, the content of each issue is eclectic and inspiring. I have a wonderfully talented roster of core contributing writers, illustrators and photographers.

I'm grateful for the enthusiastic and generous readers who support my publications. I also appreciate you taking the time to read and understand the details below before placing an order. It will make your ordering experience easier—and my workload a little lighter—so that I can concentrate on creating all these lovely books and magazines!

If you have questions, please consult the Help page for more info and my contact information. Thank you for your kind attention and support!

No local pickups in Calgary. 

Orders are sent from a fulfillment partner. USA and overseas orders ship from Los Angeles and Canadian orders from Montreal. You will receive an automated notice when your order of a book or back issue leaves the warehouse. 

Due to the pandemic, delivery times are not guaranteed by any carriers. Most items are sent media/publications mail, which is not traceable at every step. Book and back issue bundles are sent via Priority Mail or FedEx.

UPPERCASE is a Canadian company with all prices and receipts shown in Canadian dollars. The equivalent conversion is shown via your payment method. We accept Visa, MC, Amex and Paypal—no cheques or ordering by mail. 

*I'm experimenting with an app that will display the prices in your currency of choice—click on the flag in the upper right corner of the navigation. Receipts are delivered in Canadian currency.

We ship subscriptions, books, back issues to UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia. In all cases, customs charges are at the discretion of the recipient's country and the responsibility of the purchaser. 

The baseline shipping rate for overseas is CAD$30. The cart will adjust your rate according to the weight of your items. Australia and New Zealand: We typically ship with DHL or FedEx. 

If you're in the UK or Europe consider ordering books and back issues from our UK distributor Central Books.
