With their encyclopedic knowledge spanning subjects from Early French Decorative Arts to cutting-edge Modern Architecture to Contemporary American Photography, and with their passion for matching readers to books, members of the Rizzoli staff have established an exceptional standard of personalized service.

For book lovers who don't have time to browse until they find what they are looking for, or for out-of-town customers who want to send a book to someone far away, we do the legwork, providing them with meticulous care down to the smallest detail. We offer the same personalized service as a personal shopper: making recommendations, writing personalized gift cards, gift wrapping and shipping books, and generally making these transactions as easy as possible for our customers.

Special orders: For those with very specific needs, Rizzoli offers a special-order service. If it's in print, we'll find it for our customers-and send it directly to them.

Shipping: To Rizzoli, shipping is not only a luxury but a convenience that should be made easily available to all our customers. We encourage our customers to take advantage of our shipping services.

Phone orders: We have a thriving phone order business and invite customers to call our toll-free number (1-800-52-BOOKS) to place orders.

Gift wrapping: As with everything at Rizzoli, special attention is paid to gift-wrapping. Books are lovingly wrapped in Rizzoli's signature green paper and sealed with a specially-designed gold sticker.
