In my opinion, Scholastic book fairs are much better for librarians and schools than Literati's version. Scholastic cares about education instead of using it as a way to make money off students' families. I never suggest schools participate in Literati Book Fairs or any of their other money grabs and our school will never again.

Crappy, predatory service… Late books, awful customer service, not age appropriate books, don’t resolve issues. Don’t bother with them. Not worth it.

I'm two boxes in and so far my kid doesn't like any of the books. You can only provide feedback on the book and there isn't anywhere else you can provide general feedback on what types of books your child likes (other than the swiping). so i think it would just take a long time for the selections to be curated for your child (if at all...). and then when you want to cancel, you have to chat with someone and they take a long time to respond, then they try to convince you to stay. they definitely dont make it easy for you to cancel which is really really annoying. if you have a good product, you shouldn't have to trap people into keeping their subscription.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The customer service is absolutely the worst. Literati cancelled my spring fair without any advanced notice. Luckily, Scholastic came to the rescue. The book selection for the fair is poor at best. Do yourself a favor, book with Scholastic Book Fairs.

Terrible company. We had a signed contract for a book fair and they decided to cancel months later because they changed how big the school should be. Wish I wouldn't have trusted our kids book fair to this company.

As a librarian who wanted to try a new book fair company, I thought Literati offered something fresh, focused more on books than junk erasers, and would be something new to try. However after trying to use them twice, the book selection is poor, there is not enough book stock sent, there is still a ton of posters and junk sent to sell, and the customer service is unresponsive.

We enjoyed it for years, but once my son reached age 13 the book content was very questionable. Books would have a lot of swearing as well as topics such as homosexuality.

The books were good, returning was a hassle. But the worst part is, after 3 years on this program I have to wait for a chatbot to try and talk me into continuing my membership when all I want to do is cancel. I would have put a 5 star review otherwise. It has left me with a very negative view of this company.
