Book Subscriptions
Unwrap a new book, carefully selected by us, every month!
A longstanding intention is at last being put into action!
We are starting our own book subscription offer. Each month we’ll choose (after much heated debate, passionate argument, possible fisticuffs, reconciliation and finally, accord) a book that we love, that we really can’t stop thinking about, and that we would love to see being widely read. We’ll wrap it dotingly and either post it out to you, or ready it for collection from the shop.
We think this is a really exciting way to broaden reading habits, to read books that would otherwise have remained strangers, and perhaps discover writers who truly excite.
