What's Inside?

Each of these contemporary books have been carefully selected as 20th Century classics that are perhaps slightly less well known than others. Beginning with the wonderful Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin through to Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. If you enjoyed our Classic's Revisited Book and Chocolate subscription then we highly recommend trying this one because we have a whole new range of books and chocolate!

All of our luxury chocolate bars have a beautiful label with a quote about what reading means to all us, expressing the power and peace it provides.

This is a great book club to be a part of and a thoughtful gift too for those of you who are looking for a fun and unique present.  If you would like to see the full list of titles in this subscription you can see them all here.

The books inside will always be paperback. The artisan chocolate bars are handmade by our small business friends at the Quirky Gift Library and the flavours will vary each month. We love creating products that support two creative businesses.

Our lovely friends in the EU might like to know that Etsy.com have managed to put measures in place to collect taxes at the point of checkout, so purchases from our Etsy store won't be subject to further taxes on arrival in the EU. Not all of our products are on there because some are not eligible to be sold on Etsy but most are. Please be aware that while Etsy are processing sales tax, they are not processing customs fees, so they may still be payable on receipt.

There's more information about customs and VAT here.

EU CUSTOMERS - Subscriptions

Sadly we have had to remove the EU shipping option for subscriptions from our website. There's no practical way for us to prevent fees being charged EVERY time you receive a monthly parcel if you shop via our website. Some of our subscriptions are available in our Etsy store and Etsy will process the sales tax (but not the duties) for us. If you decide to buy a subscription via Etsy then you'll get a message from us suggesting that we send all the months in one go for you to open in turn.
