The club shelf

One book a month, picked by a bookseller

Every month, one of our booksellers picks a book for you. Not an algorithm, not a bestseller list: a person who has read it, wrapped it and written you a note about why.

How a month goes

Every member has a slip at the front desk. You fill in the top with us; once a month a bookseller fills in the rest.

Paperback, Hardback or First Edition. Monthly, cancel whenever.

Told

Tell us what you loved

A short form, or a chat at the desk. We read every answer.

Collect it from the club shelf or have it posted, wrapped with a handwritten note.

Stacks of secondhand books tied with string by a bright window

What if I already own the book?
