Q: Is ₹1 the price of the book?
A: No, absolutely not. ₹1 only locks your final price early. It is not a purchase and not the book’s MRP.

Q: Then why is there a ₹1 payment at all?
A: ₹1 works as a price-lock token, similar to how hotels lock room prices early. Once you lock the price, your price will never increase, even if the public price goes up later.

Q: What happens after I pay ₹1?
A: You will receive a confirmation message and your locked price for the selected title. Nothing else is compulsory at this stage.

Q: What is the ₹99 payment for?
A: ₹99 is to confirm your booking. After paying ₹99, your copy is officially reserved, and your order is marked as confirmed in our system. This helps us print the correct number of copies for readers.

Q: Do I have to pay ₹99 immediately?
A: No. Paying ₹99 is optional at first. You can choose to confirm your booking later.

Q: When do I pay the remaining amount?
A: You pay the remaining amount only after printing is completed and before shipping. At that stage, we will share printing updates and you will pay the balance: (₹Locked Price − ₹100 already paid).

Q: What if I change my mind?
A: If you decide not to continue, you can simply stop. There is no obligation to pay anything further. However, the ₹1 and ₹99 amounts are non-refundable because they are booking tokens.

Q: Is this legal and safe?
A: Yes. Cosmics Entertainment is a registered publishing studio, has published multiple physical manga titles, sells books at national events, and works with verified creators across India. This is a structured pre-booking system, not a lottery or investment scheme.

Q: How is this different from scams?
A: Key differences are:

• Real books that are actually printed and shipped

• Real creators with public profiles

• Physical copies delivered to readers

• Clear, step-wise payments with no hidden charges
  Scams typically ask for full money upfront with no clarity. We don’t do that.

Q: Why don’t you take full payment directly?
A: Because printing takes time, and we don’t want to hold your full money unnecessarily. We prefer a trust-based, step-wise payment model where you pay the bulk amount only when the book is ready.

Q: What if printing gets delayed?
A: In case of any delay, you will be informed clearly. No extra charges will be added, and your locked price will remain the same. Transparency is a core part of this system.

Q: Is this offer limited?
A: Yes. The price increases over time. Early price-lockers get the lowest price. Once printing starts, the price-lock option closes.

Q: Have people already booked using this system?
A: Yes. Thousands of readers have previously pre-booked Cosmics titles, and the ₹1 price-lock model has already been tested. Early supporters consistently receive the best prices.

Q: Will I get tracking details for my order?
A: Yes. Once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking ID. Shipping is handled separately, and delivery timelines depend on your location.

Q: Who should NOT book using this model?
A: Please do not book if:

• You expect instant delivery

• You believe ₹1 is the full price

• You are uncomfortable with step-wise payments
  This system is designed for patient readers who understand pre-orders.

Q: Who SHOULD book using this model?
A: This is ideal for:

• Manga and comic readers

• Supporters of Indian creators

• Readers who want the lowest possible price

• People who trust physical publishing and pre-orders

Q: What is the final takeaway?
A: This is not a gamble or fake hype. It is a simple, transparent price-locking system for physical books. If you’re comfortable with this model, you’re welcome to join. If not, there is no pressure to book.
