Are you stuck for the perfect gift for the friend who has everything? Or are you just looking to expand your own reading? Our book subscription service could be the answer. The monthly subscription includes a newly-released hardback or paperback fiction book chosen by our team of experienced booksellers – sustainably gift-wrapped – a literary-themed postcard, and a bookmark, together with a drink and a snack to enjoy with the book.

We offer three levels of subscription and the cost depends on where in the UK you live. Local subscribers will have their order delivered by hand which keeps costs low.

Three-month subscription: £41 (paperback); £65 (hardback)
Six-month subscription: £75 (paperback); £120 (hardback)
