Great experience
Great experience! Honestly from the packaging to the selection of books and customer service, this store is slowly becoming one of my go-tos. I AM OBSESSED WITH MY FROG MUG AS WELL. Cutest thing I have ever purchased and the bookmark that came is to die for.

wonderful shopping experience
My parcel arrived quickly with regular updates. I was stunned by the packaging and presentation, wrapped in tissue, with string ties, a wax seal and a beautiful little card that is now being used as a bookmark. This care and attention made my purchase so special. I will DEFINITELY order again and support this company. Thank you for a wonderful shopping experience

Amazing independent bookseller
I bought a book from Dryad Books online and recieved confirmation of dispatch very quickly.
The personalised packaging was beautiful and really shows how much the seller cares about each book.
The book I purchased had a signed book plate and arrived in perfect condition.
I would definitely recommend Dryad Books.

Excellent independent bookshop
I am so impressed with this new find! The book and tarot card deck were both beautifully packaged, and the additional tea was a lovely touch. I will definitely order from Dryad Books again!

Book was perfect, customs not well handled
I loved the book and the customizations. The only problem I found that being international they didn't handle taxes as it's normal for book boxes nowadays so we pay upfront and it's not a hastle at customs.

I apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused. If you would like more information regarding our international shipping policy (or if you have any other questions), you can get in touch via email at hello@dryad-books.co.uk, and we'll do our best to help.
