Worth Every Penny
How pretty is this special edition of Kingfisher's #asorceresscomestocall by Dryad Books !?! From the way it was carefully and beautifully packed (with a thank you note, wax seal and bookmark) to the unique book edition itself, I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase!

Beautiful artwork overlays & perfect book theme
I’ve not purchased one of these book boxes before but I was very very pleased with it. It was a great book - the gifts matched the theme of the book and the overlays were not only stunning pieces of artwork but I thought they were so cool (never had them before either). I definitely would get another book boxes again. I think it’s great that you buy the ones you want.

First time ordering…
First time ordering from Dryad Books, and certainly won’t be the last! The book was packaged neatly and securely. It was also presented beautifully with a bookmark and a wax seal, and the personalised thank you note is such sweet touch too.

I've been subscribed to their book box for a year now and its been really fantastic. Communication has been excellent, there was a problem once with supply and communication was quick and clear. Strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience!
Every book I’ve received from this company has been great. I love the monthly box, which comes with fun customisations or gorgeous page overlays, and always a fun drink! (Try the one that just came in my May box… very nice!!)

Too nice to open. The package was so well put together it…
The package was so well put together it was a shame to dismantle it. A very well presented book with all the trimmings. Very very pleased.
As for the book I can highly recommend the Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner. A fantasy author of the highest order.
