I will shop again with these folks in a heartbeat! I wasnt expecting a signed copy, but I got one in beautiful condition! They didn’t make promises they couldnt keep with shipping times like several other merchants on the SHOP app. Very pleased!

A lovely, reliable book shop!!

Everything arrived packaged with such care. Beautiful olive green tissue paper, a hand written thank you note from Allison, a free bookmark. Top to bottom it was a great experience and I'll be shopping here again. I have already recommended the shop to friends . Thank you!!

A Great Site To Explore

I'm so glad that I discovered The Society for Unusual Books! I love the Books Are For Everyone sticker and I just finished my first book from The Society: The Book Censors Library. A wild ride, a touching story. I'm happy to have The Society in my life.

between two fires

this genre bending book is one of my favorites. Medieval horror, supernatural, story about human connection and redemption.

Delightfully goofy!

High quality vinyl sticker, sturdy, and looks just like the photo.

This book is very good

This is an incredible whimsical novel that tackles really heavy topics like the dehumanization of women through the church, the eradication of culture and customs through the church (this book doesn't view the church favorably), and surviving in North America as outsiders and pioneers.

It also contains the very satisfying storyline of connecting severed roots to something new and just as deep, keeping old ways of connecting alive, reviving something that has been forgotten and helping it find a name.

A Night in the Lonesome October: A Novel
The world of Fae

I rarely find a bood about the Fae that is believable AND magical enough to capture the atmosphere of an ancient wood, the Fae in it, and their place in the world. LOVED this

Wow

Excellent mysterious, magical book. I read so much that I'm rarely surprised or delighted. This one hit just right.
