Loading a Story Pack into Talebrix
A Story Pack is 4 blank books, already bound, made with thick, smooth 250gsm paper, with nothing printed in them yet. A grown-up puts one blank book in through the slot at the bottom of the front of the machine, and the finished book comes back out of the same slot. The pack has no characters or settings of its own, so any story can go into any book. The target launch price is £15 a pack, about £3.75 a book, with no subscription.

Talebrix is not on sale yet, and production is targeted for June 2027. This page describes the design, and it will change if the design does.
Loading a book
Step 1
Take one blank book from the pack
Each book is already bound, with its cover on and its pages blank.
Step 2
Put it in through the slot
The slot is at the bottom of the front of the machine. Loading is a grown-up's job.
How the book is held and the pages turned while it prints is still being developed, so this step may change before launch.
Step 3
Make the story
The book waits in the machine until a story is ready to print. When it is finished, it comes out of the same slot.

Questions families ask
- What is a Story Pack?
- Material for 4 books, inserted by a parent through the same bottom-front slot used to retrieve the finished book. The pack does not limit the setting or characters: those come from your child’s imagination. Woodland and Night are examples of story settings, not worlds you must buy to unlock.
- Does Talebrix need a subscription?
- No subscription is planned. Target launch prices are £149 including material for 4 books, then £15 per Story Pack of 4. Ink pricing and final pack contents will be confirmed before orders open.
