That depends on the genre you’ve chosen, but they will mostly be good quality pre-loved paperbacks and the occasional hardback. If you choose a vintage box the books will be in very good condition for their age. The joy of opening a subscription box lies in the delightful surprises in each box. Each of our boxes is unique to you as we hand-pick the books according to what you tell us you like to read. Every box is different so you never have to worry about the surprise being spoiled if you see someone else’s unboxing video. The books you receive will not be the ones photographed on the website as these are sample boxes only.
