As I was looking for book boxes for myself, I found a few issues:
- It was really hard to find a box that was a one-time purchase, and not a subscription service.
- If you get all the goodies right when you open the box, what’s the point for less avid readers to read the book now?
- A lot of boxes included things that I wasn’t looking for(shirts, candles, posters) and didn’t have a lot that I was looking for(cups/mugs, stickers, book sleeves).
- They were so EXPENSIVE!! There was no way an unemployable 20-year-old student could afford $50+!!
So, I created Madbookery. I wanted to be able to give others the experience I had been searching for. Customizable, budget friendly, and available as a one-time buy.
