I loved the personalized note with my name writen on the card. The presentation was on point with a wax seal, a rope tied bow securing the books, and a Dryad book mark to go with it all.
Unwrapping each book was like the excitement felt on christmas day.
Thank you for your personal touch and services!

Excellent as always
As usual I'm pleased with my books from Dryad. They are packaged beautifully and I always enjoy the little hand written note and cute bookmark that comes with them.
Will order from them again!
The items shipped and arrived even earlier than expected. They were beautifully and safely packaged and arrived without a dent. I thought the addition of a small package of tea was especially nice!
The packaging and condition of the book…EXCELLENT
The packaging and condition of the book ordered was flawless. The care taken for an international delivery was one of the best I have ever had. I will be looking forward to purchasing more from you!!!!!!!!!!!!

A wonderful bookshop offering great service!
What a lovely bookshop this is. I recently bought a Black Friday mystery book bundle. My books arrived very quickly and they were beautifully wrapped. I loved all three of the books which I received and I am very excited to read them. I feel like a great deal of care went into choosing them and packaging them. I would definitely recommend buying from this small indie bookshop.

Very quick delivery and beautifully wrapped
I think Dryad books have a great selection of fantasty books and I think the bundles are reasonable. They take personal care with every order and even reached out to me on social media, after I'd made an inquiry.
