Surely many of you are familiar with the "surprise boxes" that are so fashionable lately. They come home to us by way of monthly subscription and a fixed cost per month. There are all kinds of them: food, fashion, beauty products, pets, etc. Well, the pleasure and pleasure of receiving something as a surprise has reached the literary world. There is a company, it calls itself whatsyourbook.com, which is about this and then we will tell you in more detail.
Creator and collaborators
Its creator, Yael Benjamin, a graduate in Art History from the University of Malaga with a master's degree in Publishing from the Autonomous University of Madrid, tired of seeing how bookstores closed and how there is only room in them for the big 'bestsellers', she had this great idea and the started.
Currently, the project collaborates:
- Half Double: cultural association that, in collaboration with the Proteo bookstore, offers creative writing workshops.
- Proteus and Prometheus Libraries: With more than 50 years of bookstore experience.
- Lights Library: Independent bookstore with 15 years of experience, in Malaga.
- Áncora bookstore: Malaga Library specialized especially in the subjects of Art, History, Literature and Philosophy, as well as in the creation of sections dedicated to topics or genres that are often forgotten, such as music.
- Paperblanks: Company with more than 20 years dedicated to the artisan elaboration of exclusive notebooks, agendas and address books.
- Golden Tips: Shop specializing in quality teas, chocolates and other infusions.
How is the registration and submission process
It is known as the 'Book box' and its registration is easy: you indicate your name, surname, shipping address and telephone number as far as information is concerned. And then they ask you some simple questions about your literary tastes: books that you like, favorite authors, what genre do you want to read, if you prefer a book to think about or to relax, how many books do you usually read a year ...
After giving all this information, you choose how to pay: you can do it with a card or paypal.
I liked the idea a lot. So much so, that while I am doing this article, I am filling in the data and I am telling you what information to give.
If you like the idea and don't want to wait any longer to see which book they recommend, visit the following website: http://www.cualestulibro.com/
In addition, in the first shipment, they send a detail from two of their collaborators, previously mentioned: Paperblanks and Golden Tips. I am looking forward to it!
