Sustainability at The Willoughby Book Club
Books are central to what we do, but we're also on a journey to make our subscriptions as sustainable as possible.
Since 2019 we've worked hard to make our subscriptions plastic free. All of our stickers are printed on eco friendly bio-degradable paper and our fully recyclable packaging comes from sustaible sources.
Each year every Willoughby team member has 8 trees planted on their behalf in sustainable covenanted woodland.

A nice little extra
The gift tin was an added surprise therefore there was little expectation, but the recipient found it a nice idea, especially the chocolate (as yet unopened) and the book mark which was useful.

the last two books you sent have been too similar in theme. Both about extinct animals. Would prefer more about current scientific research

I'm honestly shocked by how perfect both of the two books I've received so far have been—exactly the kind of food I'm interested in cooking and love to eat. Can't wait for next months surprise!

The perfect gift for an avid reader 😀

Crime Subscription
Great choices
I have had two out of my three books so far. They were quite different to each other but both really enjoyable. It’s been nice for someone else to choose books for me and not know quite what is going to turn up. I’ve very much enjoyed the subscription 😊

Fiction Subscription
Perfect gift
I was gifted this and found even the questionnaire about my likes good fun. I got my first book last month. The item comes so beautifully packaged, it feels like a little treat each time. And the book was perfect for me, don't think I'd have found it myself but it was exactly the sort of book I want to read.

Great book choices
A friend bought me a six-month subscription to the Willoughby Book Club. I read very widely and am also fairly picky about my choices, so I was sceptical about a book box being able to pick something I a) hadn't read and b) was interested in reading (having been let down by generic choices in other book boxes). I've now received two books and they both fit that criteria. I'm very impressed, and looking forward to the rest of my subscription! It makes for a great gift.

A wonderful experience of bookish gifting
A wonderful experience of bookish gifting and receiving, with an incredibly easy process of redeeming the gift voucher, mentioning some of the favourite authors and then receiving monthly books based on this interest which never failed to surprise and inspire.
