How it works
Three steps. Real humans.
01
Tell us your taste
A short questionnaire outlining a few books you've loved, a few you haven't. Two minutes.
02
An editor reads your shelf
A real person, not an algorithm, chooses your next book. Sourced pre-loved, in good condition.
03
It arrives on your doorstep
A parcel every other month, with a short editor's note tucked inside. Pause or skip whenever you like.
What's inside
A book, a note, and the time to read both.
- 01
One pre-loved book
Hardback or paperback, sourced second-hand, in good condition.
- 02
A short editor's note
A handwritten card on why this book, for you, this month.
- 03
Wrapped in sage tissue
Sealed with a Verse sticker. A parcel you are excited to receive.
- 04
A reading bookmark
A Verse bookmark included with every book.
A real editor, usually Jen, reads your taste questionnaire and picks the book by hand. We don't use algorithms or quizzes that score you against a thousand other people. We keep searching until we've got the right book for you in a given month.
