Typically, in our book boxes, we keep the items a surprise so that you can open them with delight and discover how each pairing complements the book. We do announce the title ahead of time, but the rest of the contents remain under wraps (both literally and figuratively) until it arrives at your doorstep.

However, since the holiday season is one that comes with celebratory gift-giving and you may want to know what your recipient is receiving, we are disclosing the contents via the link below to help you visualize the gift you are giving.
