Every set that Juniper Books offers on our "off-the-shelf" website can now be customized on junipercustom.com. If you are not looking to customize your order (e.g., specify custom colors, print a gift inscription on the flaps, or provide special handling, packing, or shipping instructions to be followed by our dedicated custom team) please order from juniperbooks.com for the lowest price and fastest handling.

Maya Angelou touched the hearts and souls of millions through her poems, memoirs, plays, films, and her civil rights activism. Moving, and often times painful reflections of her life are balanced by uplifting and joyous memories; her honest and unvarnished approach coming across as a guiding principle that lends the writings a beautiful weight.

Juniper Books’ custom jackets feature an original painting of Angelou by Detour (Thomas Evans) – a Denver based artist. Founder Thatcher Wine had seen the street murals and iconic portraits Evans painted around the RiNo neighborhood of Denver, including ones of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Tupac Shakur, and immediately knew he wanted to collaborate with him for our Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou sets. Learn more about this design and our collaboration with the artist, Detour, on our blog! 

Each book in the set is a hardcover edition published by Random House or Modern Library.

This set also come in our Caged Bird design!

Customizing a Juniper Books Set

• We are thrilled to offer a customization option for (almost) every set that is available from Juniper Books. Customization is a great way to make a set one-of-a-kind for your collection, or to create the perfect gift.
• The entire process takes place here on junipercustom.com. The price you see on this page is for the book set on its own. As you add personalized flap text and/or a custom color, the price for those additional services will be added to the total price for your order when you press Add to Cart.
• If you would like to order multiple customized sets, please add them to your cart one at a time. The personalization options chosen will save with each book set.
• Once we receive your order, we will contact you if we have any questions. Otherwise, we will custom make your set. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks and you will receive a shipping notification when the books are on their way.

Please note that Customized orders are non-refundable and non-returnable. For the rest of 2024, all Juniper Custom orders will also receive one complimentary archival storage box! We designed these boxes to look like a book, they are perfect for storing extra sets of book jackets, or anything else you'd like to keep safe!
