New Book Subscription Box from Strand Books: The Book HookUp

This is SO EXCITING.
I’m an avid book collector but focus on art/natural history so the book subs out there have always seemed like such a great idea but just not my thing since they all have such a fiction focus.
If Taschen or Rizzoli are involved this is money well spent.
This starts in June and my birthday happens to be in June so happy birthday to me.

The Strand is my favorite bookstore. I miss it since I left NYC. Very excited that they are having a book sub, although $50 seems high. Maybe it’s geared toward collectors rather than just readers, since it’s a first-edition focus.

Anyway, to add my 2 cents to the vote, I’d like to see the fiction box reviewed. I’m on the fence due to the price. There are a bunch of fiction boxes out there, but only one other one that I know of that actually focuses on literary fiction rather than lighter novels. I don’t want romances and mysteries and beach reading, I want Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, and I think the Strand is the one to do it. (And Boxwalla, their upcoming book box looks promising …). Thanks!

I signed up for the YA box. I mostly read on my kindle these days. I have two baby bunnies, though, and keep forgetting to buy books I can take outside with me while I let them play. This will be perfect!

Understanding it as the subscriptions begin in June? Think this will be a good book box. The Strand is an awesome book store.

I love going to the Strand! It’s an amazing bookstore. I might try the YA sub 🙂

I work at a bookstore and Penquin and Random house are two of the biggest YA publishing groups so I’ve got a lot of faith in this one!

I might get they YA one. I’ll have to wait & see what the first couple boxes are like. I really like that they offer the art/photography book option, too. I don’t think I’ve seen that with other book subs.

I’d love to see a review for the Art/Photog box! That one sounds really interesting.
