The Society for Unusual Books Reviews

Despite being a smaller, independent bookstore, they have very unique books for anyone who’s looking for literature past the ordinary.

I ordered a bigger purchase and it was shipped the day after. It was delivered around 10 days before the first estimated delivery date on Shop.

When the package arrived it had “The Society for Unusual Books” handwritten thank you card and a well made bookmark. You can really tell the people there don’t just take their time to choose good books, but also place importance on their customers.

Will definitely be ordering from again.

Found you on IG, I think…totally love a niche bookstore, and this is my niche. Fantasy/sf/romantasy/gothic. Oh yes. I appreciate a carefully curated selection, and also the care, love, and excitement that goes into each order. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

The shipping was fast and the package was wrapped well. The stickers look more beautiful than on online. They even included a free bookmark and a handwritten note. I love that and I’ll be buying again!

Such a fun site. Always looking for something different/unusual to read and this is a great resource. Plus, who doesn't love a little personal touch, both with recommendations, and with the nice packaging, including the gorgeous bookmark with my shipment.
