The Page 1 Book Subscription

I so love my book subscription given to me from a dear friend! My latest received mystery book, The Christmas Egg, will be the most fun read for me during this holiday season.

I love everything about this subscription! I always get great books, the team is quick to respond and talk through other options, and I’ve even started reading things I wouldn’t normally buy at a store. SO grateful for this service (spoiler alert: I renewed).

I was so excited to receive a book that I had not heard of, yet was right up my alley! Book matchmakers!

Highly recommended as a treat or perfect gift for readers. Selections are always diverse and interesting and customer service is fantastic.

My sister got me a subscription for my birthday. We are BIG book readers! I absolutely loved my first book! I finished it in two days and the book even referenced my hometown. Absolutely bonkers. Can’t wait for my next book

I've wanted to read/own this book since it first came out, so happy it was included in my first box. I also love black tea so that was also a lovely surprise.

My children got me a book subscription for my birthday, and I love it! It’s fun to get a present each month in the mail, and the first two books I have received have been excellent choices! Your staff really knows their stuff!!

I LOVE this subscription. I got a 6 month one last year for my birthday and I already asked my mom for another one! Every time it comes, I literally get giddy. The book feels so special and personal. Also, I love getting to see what my extra goodie will be each time. I love reading, but I never thought I would like someone else picking out books for me, but I love Page 1. Plus, they take the pressure off by saying that if it is a book you already read, they will send you a new one (although that hasn’t happened for me).

I had The Mitford Murders as my first book and loved it! I then proceeded to read the second and third and I’m anxiously waiting for the fourth to come out. I haven’t read the second book I’ve been sent yet but I will let you know what I think afterwards!

If anyone who can help at Page 1, I loved the genre of first two books but I’m ready for one in my other favorite genre, historical fiction (especially WW2 era) ty❤️

PageOne is the best! The books are almost always perfect and if they aren't they are quick to send a replacement. The day my box comes is the best mail day of the month.

I love the books that get chosen for me, and the add ins that are included in every box. I can't wait to see what they send next. And even when I love what book they sent, I also love seeing what everyone else got from Page1 on Instagram!

I really like the subscription - I do wish I received a bigger mix in the types of books I Receive sometimes, but I love that they're typically books I've never heard of! The packaging is first class, and I get so excited when I receive.

Absolutely LOVE this subscription service. Best one I've had and they truly pick out books that are on my TBR already! 10/10 recommend!!

I just started my subscription but I’m more than pleased. The book that was picked for me was on my to be read list and I’m so happy that I got it. Also so fun to open the package and be surprised, rather than other subscriptions where you know what to expect. Looking forward to next month!

Loved the first book that was picked for me! This was a bday gift and I have recommended to many others!

First a 3 month subscriber, extended another 6 months because I love Page 1 so much! Each book has been one I never would have considered myself. I enjoyed every one, except one I was lukewarm about, but did finish it. It's like Christmas or my birthday each month.

I enjoyed my first Page 1 book - The Good Negress. I was not familiar with the book or its author, but I was excited to see it was recommended by Toni Morrison. The book was well written and held my interest throughout, although the jumping back and forth in time was confusing at times. I would recommend this book to others, and I look forward to my next Page 1 selection.

I loved my book this month! A great historical fiction with strong female characters and just a touch of mystery.

I loved all of the books chosen for me. I haven’t read them all, but some have been chosen for the book club I run and everyone loves them! The choices have been spot on.

I finally took the plunge and signed up for this book subscription, and I'm so glad I did! Such a sweet monthly gift to myself

I received my first book subscription, and my spooky Halloween book together! Love it! Just started both books, and appreciate the care that went into choosing both. I also love the little extra gifts-so special! I am so happy to be supporting a small independent bookstore.

Love this service! I don’t know if it would gain traction or anything, but I actually would love an option to opt out of the extra items for a few dollars less. They’re nice and good quality, but for me, it’s usually stuff that I will never use.

I love how the books come beautifully packaged with obvious care.

I am obsessed with Page 1! I have only gotten my first two months and it is amazing- every thing from the packaging to NAILING the right books for me. Thank you!

I would like to have a little info as to why a certain book was chosen for me.

Page One has allowed me to select books that I already wanted to read, and it is a pleasure to get them each month.

Page One subscription is amazing. They really have sent terrific stuff, and definitely worth the price.

I've received three books so far. One was on my list of books I wanted and two were ones I hadn't really known about but represented the diverse text I was looking for. Also love the cute goodies that come with the books.

So excited to have stumbled upon Page One Books and their subscriptions! They have sent me books that I would have never heard of in the genres that I love and I always look forward to the next book they choose just for me!

The book selection was good, I have no complaints there. But it took 3 weeks to receive my first book (9/20) and I am not expected to see the second book until 10/9. This subscription is quite a bit more expensive than others and while I appreciate the personalized selection, I am not quite so happy with the timing for the price. Perhaps this is better for someone who lives closer to the Page 1 store where we aren't so dependent on the USPS. I am on the fence about deciding a renewal.

This was my first month and I really loved the book they choose for me I never heard of it! I am excited to read it this October.

I think this request for a review and a pic is out of synch. I have already submitted my review (you were great), and you have already posted my review and pic on your website. I am a very happy customer.

Read it one day - the book was gripping and funny and unsettling. It expanded my understanding of the American experience - really loved it!

Love my book

I really liked how this book started, but it felt a little flat in the middle. I had hoped Lizzy would have been more decisive, or taken some more for time for her. I could feel her struggle, her pain, and her sense of loss in motherhood, which honestly is probably why I was frustrated with it. Possibly the right book at the wrong time for me.

Very interesting. You want to keep reading to see what happens next. It's about a old diary written in code. They found someone that is figuring out the code. You can't wait to see what happens. A great mystery. There are different characters so all of them play a part in the story some you will like and some you won't.

My friend gave me this subscription for my birthday. I received my first book "All the Things We Cannot Say" a month later, and it was terrific! It had exactly what I love to read about, including a twist, which I adore! I usually figure out the twist before it happens, but I didn't this time! Thank you Page 1 for a fun adventure with this story. I can hardly wait for the next one to arrive!

no book, no tracking, confusing sign up, absolutely the worst communication and tracking process ever encountered. who designed this. have you ever tested any of this process? get a new designer or programmer and still no book

I have loved the three books that I received. I found myself trying to read slowly on the last book,The Bridal Chair, just to make it last longer. The Dutch House was also very interesting and fun to read.I should mention that the book was wrapped with ribbon matching the cover. It was so perfect that I hated to open it. I seem to be reading books which combine art, families, meaning of relationships and a touch of mystery. A dash of Venice and Paris is always a winner. I have noticed several articles about Anna Karenina lately as a good pandemic novel. I agree and find a subtle connection with the books from my subscription. The third book,The Art Forger, was more of a mystery involving the work of forging art. I learned so much about the interesting subject.Brandy,I look forward to my September book. Thank you !

I'm confused at this survey. The email says tell us how you like your subscription, but this survey says rate your item. So I rate the subscription service itself 5 stars-I LOVE getting new, different titles. If it is a rating of the first book I received, it was called "Conventionally Yours" by Annabeth Albert, and I give it 3 stars. I like the genre but I think this one was a bit too YA for me. It seemed like a step down from "Red, White & Royal Blue." But it was still enjoyable to read.

I received my first Page1 book subscription box and it was perfect! I had never heard of the book before and I loved it. I am excited to receive my next box!

After a few weeks of anxiously waiting, I finally received my first book from Page 1. I ordered a 3-month book subscription, and so far I have been pleasantly surprised. I didn't know what to expect when my first box came in the mail. I was excited, though! I opened the box and saw an inspiring card inside, along with a little gift. Opening the book felt like Christmas morning! Ironically, I am not one to read many books. For some reason I just don't get hooked. But, it was clear Page 1 took my interests into consideration when they selected a book for me. I have been reading a chapter or two each day to keep the joy of reading alive in my life and to keep me engaged and interested. They chose a book that was tailored to my requests. I cannot wait to receive my second book, and I am hopeful to have the same experience as much first box.

I'm LOVING my Page 1 subscription! It's clear thought is put into selecting the perfect books for me each month. I'm almost a little freaked out that they seem to know me so well! Can't wait for my next book.

I got this book subscription for my daughter who is a voracious reader. I honestly though that the first book selection would be one that she had already read. She consumes popular series and books at a crazy pace (HUGE fan of Keeper of Lost Cities and Chris Colfer series!), but the book that was delivered was one that neither of us had ever heard of. She was SO excited to unwrap the box. The cover was beautiful, and she truly enjoyed the book! The wrapping and little details added to the box were so fabulous. Can't wait to see what arrives next month!

It’s a new book to me and I have not watched the movie either. So far I enjoy it!

I would have never found this book on my own. Thank you for translating my love of all things Austen into an awesome book-find!

I can see why Page One chose this book for me - historical fiction is my go to. I’ve heard of this book before. Overall it was ok, I did like the premise and Clara’s story, but the writing fell a bit flat for me. It was an enjoyable read But I didn’t feel like the characters had as much depth as I would have liked.

Attica Locke's book Bluebird, Bluebird was a new author and perspective that I found intriguely interesting, but I was very disappointed in the ending. I have enough stress in my life at this time and read for escape. I have just read all of the books by S W Hubbard and look forward to her future editions. Jill Ferguson

Perfection! It’s like waking up Christmas morning and seeing presents under the tree. I can’t wait for my next box.

They picked a perfect book for me. I can’t wait to read it!

I already own this book and customer service was quick to respond and let me know they'd send a replacement - what a wonderful service! That being said, I'm thrilled that Page One also knew i would love Luster. It's exactly up my alley and I love that Page One is supporting diverse authors!

The excitement I had when opening my first box is almost unexplainable (my husband literally said: “wow I need to find a gift that makes you as happy as that just did”)! The packaging details are beautiful and thoughtful, the extra bookish item (I got a fun pack of pencils) was great, and the book picked for me was PERFECT!!

Receiving a surprise book in the mail is the best!!!

The boxing is so cute! Loved the added pencils! Really enjoy the whole concept of unwrapping a surprise book picked just for me! Half way thru the book and I LOVE it!

Love getting a surprise book that fits me!

Love the pick because it was likely something I would have overlooked on my own and I love discovering new books!

I'll admit that I was quite skeptical upon opening my box. I am a picky reader, and I really expected you guys to fail on the first go. This small, little baby book was unexpected. I saw it was reviewed by Jia Tolentino and sighed because, how cliche and boring to be grouped into the posse of discontented millennial fangirls (although that's probably exactly where I belong). I sat down immediately and started reading to prove that it wasn't for me. I didn't stop til I'd finished it at 3am. Fucking. Fabulous. An addictingly self-destructive, honest, and hilarious portrait of two very unique (yet recognizable) characters. I don't know who you people are or what makes you so freaking perfect at your job -- but woah, I'm thoroughly impressed. Here I am thinking I'm complex and undefinable in my reading tastes, but then I get this book and I'm, like, totally transparent to you guys. So first of all, thank you, I'd never even heard of this book two days ago and it's now a favorite. And second of all, how do you do it?! Are you book psychologists?! (This is an idea I've always been fascinated by because truly what people need most when they are suffering is art and a reminder of the ubiquity of human experience - and you guys seem to facilitate this kind of soul medicine). Do I fall into a category of readers with similar tastes in an excel spreadsheet with associated recommendations? Or did a magical Page One fairy goddess sit down, read my preferences, think about it (imagine me? my life?), and conjure up the perfect complement to my bookshelf? "'Well, I believe that good deeds are returned. And I believe that we're all in the right place at the right time to help each other out of not help each other out, depending on the way we feel moved to act. It's an invisible impulse, but I think, and I don't know if this is too much to say, but I think it's something else that's telling us how to act.' 'That's a deep feeling, friend,' said the loud guy. The two guys continued to talk about the invisible accidents of politeness and cruelty or whatever and, eventually, Megan tuned them out and turned to the window."

Wow! The book they picked out for me was perfect. It felt really great to support this subscription box because I could tell time and energy had been put into it. It felt personal even when I live across the country!

Loved the Author pencils! I received The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, and it was very good. I think Page 1 Books did a very good job picking a book for me! I’m not sure I liked the ending of this book, and I would also enjoy a much longer story for my next pick, but all in all it was something I enjoyed reading! Thank you!

My first Page 1 Books box is such a winner! They picked the PERFECT book for me!

Just received my first Page 1 subscription box. I had read reviews and was, admittedly, skeptical. When I opened the box, I still wasn’t sure. It didn’t seem like the right book for me. Then I started reading... and it’s magical. By the end of chapter one, I was in love with Ordinary Grace, by William Kent Krueger. Page 1, you have a new fan for sure!

I'm very much enjoying the selection you all made for me. "When the English Fall" is written at a pace that welcomes you into the narrator's experience. It is not rushed, it is a gently unfolding account of a paralyzing and emergency-ridden time in an imagined world history. This is not the norm for the genre of post-apocalyptic fiction that I'm used to and I find my self soothed by the narrator's voice despite what's going on around him. Thank you for introducing me to a new way of experiencing a genre I love.

Love my first book and getting book mail is never a bad thing. Fun to have a blind date with a book!

Loved the box with the packaging and freebie pencils! The book had been on my list a while and it was great! I’m done with my other book subscription. You win!

I was so hesitant about the surprise aspect of Page 1 but WOW the absolute thrill of waiting for the package and opening it was so much more than I could have asked for! I am a huge reader so I was nervous about getting a book I've already read or that I already owned but NO FEAR because Page 1 gave me a book that I had never heard of and was right up my alley! Believe the hype, this place is LEGIT. Their packaging is also super cute and they give you a little gift (this time, literary themed pencils... mine were grammar ones and they were perfect). They are also super responsive on email and are super caring and amazing human beings. I can't wait to be a lifelong devotee.

Got my first box today! Excited to read Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger and I love the pencils:)

I never would've picked my first book myself, but it was spot on. I absolutely loved it. I loved how flawed the narrator was, but you rooted for him. I loved how irreverent the humor was. I loved how everyone needed to forgive to heal. I loved how it was heavy, but not. I can't wait for future picks!

This was my first Page 1 box and I am so excited about the pick! It felt personal yet out of the box, and that was such a satisfying combination. I'm so excited to see what comes next and can't wait to dive into this book!

I don’t know who reads such a shirt writer profile and picks out this book to send to them, but you need to hunt that person down and give them A bonus. This came just after a hugely disappointing first box from Curator Crate — in which I had said I don’t read trendy books just because they’re trendy and they sent me all trendy books. Thank you from the bottom of my reader’s heart.

I had no doubts going into this subscription because I’m a pretty easy-to-please reader; but I do want to say, I screamed with delight at my book pick! I love getting book recs, but I love getting book rec mail even more!

I am really excited about the book that came for me. It seems like something I would enjoy and it felt very handpicked. I am curious if this book was my actual page one book package or the book of the month credit book because other friends told me they had things like coasters and stickers in their packages...and I didn't have any. But maybe I am confused? Regardless, this book does seem like it's a great pick for me :) Thanks

Was a bit predictable typical of a psychological thriller. I wanted to like it more than I did. I was entertained, but not wowed.

Receiving and opening my first Page One delivery was so exciting! The book is so me and I could not wait to dive in. I love that I have this to look forward to each month!

I got my first Page One book in July and loved it so much! I wrote out some of my favorite genres and books along with giving my goodreads handle. And they matched me with a book that wasn't even on my radar but I loved it!! I switched from that ~other book subscription~ and do not regret it one bit! If you're interested in a book subscription service, I highly recommend Page One!

I love the book that was picked just for me. I can't wait to get the next one. I have told all my friends about Page 1. This was the best birthday gift ever!

Although I haven't read this book yet, I am excited to dive into it. It's one I haven't heard of. I also have never read this author, but historical fiction is one of my favorite genres so I can't wait to start. I especially appreciate the nod to Chinese history in America that I can pass along to my daughter, adopted from China so I know whoever read my bio paid attention. It was beautifully wrapped and so fun to open! I truly enjoyed getting my box. Happy!!

Perfect choice! I had enjoyed "The Underground Railroad" by this author, and had not yet explored other works, so this was a welcome book. I read it over two days and then did some additional research on the true events that inspired Whitehead's novel. This book was shorter than most I pick up, but it was intense and memorable.

Great book! Good fit with my profile. I love a good dramatic, mystery novel. Beautiful hardback current novel!

I love that this book box subscription is a surprise, rather than just a book I could have bought myself. Also, the book picked for me was PERFECT. It was a book I had never heard of but just happened to be by the same author as the book I was currently reading. The people who selected my first book did their job well!

Love the book and the author. The book grab me from the 1st page.

Page 1. Has TOTALLY nailed it, from my first book chosen to the greatest customer service! I could not be happier. I was anxiously awaiting my first book thinking, ‘I will read it regardless, but I’m sure I’ll have the book already, or it won’t be what I’m looking for.’ I couldn’t have been more wrong! I haven’t finished the first book yet (I have a newborn) but I take it EVERYWHERE, along with my sticky notes and highlighter, for any reading opportunities. I hadn’t even heard of it, but as soon as I read the description I knew it would be a perfect fit. In addition, the customer service was phenomenal. When I purchased my subscription, I accidentally entered my email incorrectly (#newbornmombrain) and Brandy worked quickly to fix my mistake and reassure me she had it taken care of. I will recommend this to everyone!

This was my first book from my Page One subscription. You sent me the "The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle". It almost hit the mark. I liked the structure and premise of the book, but I found it to be just a bit too heavy going. At one point I thought that I would need a notebook to keep track of the characters and the interwoven timeline. So, a good start, but just a bit too complicated for me. Perhaps the heat of the summer is making lazy! Thank you, Christopher Ainsley.

Great read - cute and heartbreaking.

I plan to extend my 3 month to a 12 month!

Page 1's subscription service is incredibly unique! I love that it's catered to the individual reader versus having 1 book sent to all subscribers (or 5 to choose from, like that other guy). I could tell that my Goodreads profile and reading preferences, provided in detail upon subscribing, were both referenced when choosing my first monthly book: Bluff by Jane Stanton Hitchcock. I was thrilled that I had never heard of the book or the author before, and that the selection wasn't a brand-new release. While I rated the book 4 stars on Goodreads, I really did enjoy it and am super pleased with the selection. I would like to see something classic or fantasy/folkloric next month!

Very impressed that Page One found exactly the type of book I love to read on the first try! It was a perfect escapist read for this time of social distancing. This book has resonance and will stay with me for a while.

Got my first shipment and loved it. It's so fun knowing someone has picked a book just for you. The book they sent was one I didn't own and hadn't read, but definitely sounds like something I would enjoy. So I am excited to read it! I also got a couple of cute bookish coasters and a Page 1 sticker in the box. Super fun. Looking forward to future boxes!

Page One Books? More like magical bookish fairies sent from above ✨❤️ After all the drama with BOTM, I knew I needed to unsubscribe. I decided to join Page One Books because they sounded supportive, kind, and most importantly - inclusive. SO HAPPY with their personal pick. I remember seeing this book online and I felt like I needed it because of how pretty the cover is. l never got around to buying it. BUT NOW I HAVE IT AND I AM SO EXCITED. Thank you Page One Books ! Very satisfied with my first box and I can’t wait to get more. I absolutely recommend subscribing (:

So far I’ve only gotten my first box but the packaging was so nice it was like Christmas, and I’m so excited about the book selection. Can wait to read it!

I was so pleasantly surprised with my book choice! I had never heard of the book and although I read almost all genre of books, I primarily read mystery and thrillers, & would’ve been very happy with a book in that category. But to hit a genre that I enjoy but don’t often mention, it was honestly like tapping into a side of me that felt like Page1 instantly connected with who I am! Thank you so much! I’m so happy to be a part of this community!

Highly recommend! I am so pleased with the book selection I received - it was already on my wish list! Amazing how well they chose for me, can't wait until next month :)

I recently switched from another book subscription service, and I had my doubts about someone selecting a book for me. I filled out my form with a fair amount of info about books I’ve read and liked and disliked, and I provided the link to my Goodreads account. My first book came today and they nailed it! This book was already on my radar and exactly the type of book I tend to enjoy. I can’t wait to see what they choose for me next month!

My first box from Page One arrived this week and I am THRILLED with the book I received, the great little touches in the box, and so excited to receive books from Page One for a long time to come!

I was so excited by my box! I love how you guys wrapped it up for me like a gift and I’m really happy with the book I received, I can’t wait to read it.

It's always so fun to receive a Page 1 box knowing the book inside was curated just for me based on my interests! The wrapping is perfect and the extra gift is always a bonus. Highly recommend.

Currently reading This Tender Land. The Splendid and the Vile looks intriguing. Can’t wait to start reading it.

This book fits my reading personality perfectly! It was on my TBR list and I was looking forward to getting it. Thanks for the great pick!

I have only received my first book from my subscription, but it was a book that I had not read by an author that I just recently read! I loved the packaging, the gifty coasters, and the book itself. Off to a great start!

I love this program! The chosen books are unique and diverse, and the owner is so great to work with!! I had a few emails with her over some confusion on my part, and she was sweet and understanding during the entirety of our discussion.
