Find out more about GOOD BOOKS

GOOD BOOKS opened its doors in October 2020. It was founded by two writers, Jane Arthur and Catherine Robertson, because the middle of a pandemic is always the ideal time to start a new business.

What’s more exciting than getting a parcel of good reading in the mail every month? Nothing, we reckon!

So treat yourself or someone you know to a GOOD BOOKS Subscription.

A personalised, luxury gift service for book-lovers of all ages.

We're trialling a new idea where our customers can buy Pay It Forward book vouchers for very deserving local schools.

Twice a year, we'll divvy up the credit equally for the schools to spend on books for their libraries and students, all thanks to the generosity and kindness of GOOD BOOKS customers!
