About Us

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by - we're absolutely thrilled to see you here.

Get yourself comfy, grab a cuppa and settle down for a bit because this is that part of the website where we explain what Paperback Down is all about.

The idea for Paperback Down was tumbling around in our heads for a good few years before we actually took the first step towards putting it into action. It was born out of our own experience of being book-lovers who were struggling to make time to read.

Life just gets busy. You're trying to balance work or college with friends and family. You spend your time off running around trying to get on top of all the mundane bores and chores of everyday life and it gets hard to take time out just for yourself.

Our aim is to help with that by just making it that little bit easier to relax, unwind and enjoy a bit of me-time.

When you order from us, it'll feel like you're unwrapping a gift from your best friend - personal, unique and thoughtfully curated to make you feel special.

Every book we pick for you is read and recommended by us. Every gift and treat has been chosen with the intention of bringing a little magic to your day. 

So that's what we're all about. Make sure you're on our mailing list for all our latest news and updated, and follow us online - we'd love to get to know your story too!

Happy reading!
