Couldn't be happier. Got the book advent calendar and it's so worth every penny. There's cute little wax seals on around half the books, and they're all packed gorgeously and I genuinely feel like a... See more

Good for a new Subscription Box
For the price, compared to other subscription boxes around the same cost, you do get way less in terms of items and customisations of the book. But for a new box, its pretty good and I’m sure it’ll only get better with time.

A bookshop that cares.
I love Dryad Books! I subscribe to the monthly box, as well as place numerous other orders. The love and care that goes into packaging the books is amazing, if I have a question about an order the customer service is second to none, if I want to order a book I can't find on the website, I send them a message and so far they have added the ones I have requested. If you're a book love, you should be ordering from independent places like this that genuinely care!

Trustworthy company
I purchased the November box from last year as a one-time box. The items are pretty, they were securely packed, I am very satisfied with this experience. Can't wait to read the book! :)

Great service and little bonuses
Buying from Dryad was great. The book was immediately dispatched and the packaging it came in was great. It was like it was already gift wrapped and had some nice touches that made it feel special. As this was actually a gift this not only saved me a job but really added to the occasion, so thank you Dryad!
