Volume Reading Subscriptions

Give the gift of reading (or keep it for yourself)!

Each month we will select a book we think the recipient will love and send it anywhere — to you or a person of your choice. 

Invigorate your reading habit! Extend your reading horizons! Immerse yourself in stories! Deepen your knowledge! 

VOLUME have been providing exciting reading experiences through our subscription scheme since 2017, and we have subscribers who renew year on year, such is their enjoyment of our individually tailored selections. The arrival of a subscription book, chosen especially for the recipient, is a highlight in any reader's calendar.

We have devised some new, themed subscriptions — take your pick!
(Or just get in touch and tell us what you’d like.)

What some subscription recipients have said:

"Have a hard-to-buy-for relative? I highly recommend gifting someone (or yourself) Volume’s book subscription. Stella and Thomas never fail to surprise and delight me with their selections. I thought I kept up with all the latest but their knowledge is next level. They must be able to look inside my head because each selection is just what I didn’t know I wanted!!!" —Helen

"I have been shopping with Stella and Thomas from VOLUME for a number of years now and what I have come to discover is that with the slightest prompt they can find a book that will entertain, inspire, satisfy my whims, and, even sometimes sadden or enrage me. They offer a personal take on what is most talked about in the industry and often offer treasures long since buried from the zeitgeist. 
"In all of the book recommendations they have offered me, I have yet to be disappointed. Their taste is either impeccable or they have spent enough time getting to know my personality in such a way that they can predict my next favourite. Likely, it is a combination of the two.
"I have known for a while that they offered subscriptions but only just recently took them up on the service. Last November I challenged them with the creation of a book advent calendar for me under the theme of ‘Banned Books that were possibly overlooked’ and goodness did they deliver. I was greeted with thirteen wrapped and numbered fiction and non-fiction works that crossed genres and generations. This is sure to become an annual tradition for me, but my only challenge will be if I offer them another prompt or just allow them to take me on a journey of their own creation." —Erin 

"I am now deep into the second book of the monthly subscription and I am writing just to say 'thanks' for this inspired choice. If you had told me a month back that I would be reading about the political structure and influence of pirate settlements in Madagascar in the 17th to 19th centuries, I would have looked amazed. But there is so much to learn... This is exactly why it is such a pleasure to have such choices drawn to attention by others." —Hugh

"It is such a treat to see each new book selection, and to read titles I would probably otherwise miss. I’ve really enjoyed all the selections you have made so far!" —Rachel

“I hope we get another subscription. We probably will, because it’s a very good idea!” —Milly (aged 9)
