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 and it was born out of our own experience of being book-lovers who struggled to find 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. 

If that sounds like you, then you're in the right place.

We want to help book-lovers like you enjoy a little more me-time.

Our book subscriptions and bookish gift hampers are designed to make it that little bit easier to relax and enjoy the simple pleasure of getting lost in a new favourite book. And 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 but we'd love to know your story too. Come say hi to us online and make sure you're on our mailing list for all our latest news and updates

Happy reading!
