FAQS
What is the Book Box?
The Book Box is a book subscription box that puts the books first! We don't jam pack your box with wasteful nicknacks, instead we spend the time and effort finding the right book for you.
After you make a purchase we ask a couple of questions about your reading preferences (this only takes five minutes) and then we handle the rest from there!
Each book subscription box is filled with handpicked books specifically ordered for every customer.
TLDR: We find books you will love, and send them to your door!
What if I have already read the book(s)?
This is a fair question, and one expected to be asked. Don't worry, we have thought about this!
Firstly to avoid filling your book subscription box with books you've already read, we will look at your Goodreads (or other reading app) and cross reference our picks with this!
If you don't have a reading app, you can send us a picture of your bookshelf and we can use that instead.
In the unlikely event that we do send you a book you have already read, don't worry! Free returns are available!
