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.
Let customers speak for us
This was a Christmas Gift and I have loved it. All the books chosen by Olivia for me have been fantastic. Books I probably wouldn’t have picked for myself but I have so enjoyed them. I would definitely recommend the book club. I have so enjoyed looking forward to a new book every month.

Children's Book Subscription
Interesting choices
The two books which have arrived as part of my gift subscription have been interesting choices I wouldn't have picked up in bookshops or libraries. A clever idea.

Thirst for salt
Great receiving a book I don’t think I would have looked at in a bookshop, wasn’t able to put down and read within the day! Great book and fantastic story line. Can’t wait for next book to arrive!

A very special present
We gave the Gift Tin as a seventieth birthday present to someone who loves reading, and she’s thrilled. It’s a present that keeps on giving, as each parcel arrives. It’s exciting to hear from her what’s turned up, and how pleased she is with the books that have been chosen for her. Can highly recommend this as a present for the booklover/s in your life.

Gift Tin
Amazing !
I bought this for my Mum’s Birthday - she is an avid reader so it was quite a challenge to see if they could find books she hadn’t read!
But every month she’s sent me the book and told me about it and has LOVED the surprise and variation of titles ! A real eclectic mix with a personal touch - I’d recommend this to any book lover and it’s a perfect present as it’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Dads favourite gift
My father is so hard to buy for and when I gave him this subscription he’s asked for it to be renewed twice. He’s a huge reader and this way he gets a surprise book that lands on his doorstep. Brilliant idea really well executed.

Crime Subscription
The Temptation of Gracie
I was given a subscription to the Willoughby book club as a birthday present. After filling in my previous book choices from books i have read i was a little sceptical to what i would receive, however I found the first book very enjoyable and am now looking forward to reading the second book of your choice. Good storytelling and twists at the end. Not read any books by the author, Santa Montefiore, before but I'm sure they will be just as enjoyable too. Good choice from you.
