[reads] boxes are shipped out the 30th of the previous month, it's safe to say that you'll receive your package by the 7th of the month!
We ship free to all addresses in the USA. We're not able to ship international yet, but hopefully we can grow and expand our capacity to accomodate global readers.
We are focused on human curation, rather than computer algorithms. If you have an open mind we are excited to surprise you with reads that might not be something you would normally pick up off the shelves, but are relevant, insightful and beautifully designed. Each month is a thoughtful starter pack to new topics. We think of [reads] as helping people to become generalists.
Each [reads] box is a starter kit and will include 2-3 books on the theme of the collection. Each box includes curation cards and special goodies related to the theme.
The [reads] experience is the solution to being surrounded by books and building a home or studio library. Centered on discovery, our [reads] delivery is made up of a broad spectrum of books, spanning various genres, times periods, publishers and authors. Not all may be familiar but all will be worthy of multiple reads and sharing your [reads] library with friends.
[reads] features a wide variety of great books. We focus on highlighting new authors, essential releases from authors you may have never heard of, as well as a healthy dose of must-have books that deserve to be revisited.
Our team is constantly reading new books and looking for books that are complete works of art from start to finish. We search for books that are worthy of taking up precious space on your bookshelves. We believe that peoples shelves are very representative of who they are as a person.
The [reads] customer is someone who is curious about expanding beyond their own personal interests and tastes. Our [reads] boxes are not custom tailored, we curate the experience for you so we understand that [reads] might not be for everyone. We believe that a [reads] customer is an adventurous reader who wants to be a generalist and explore new topics. We believe that our [reads] customers are craving this return to analogue and tangible experiences.
