I enjoy this subscription beyond what I anticipated. The books are stretching my literary choices and the extras are special. The fact that that these are 2nd hand or repurposed books adds extra value

Purchased a three month subscription for my mom for Mother's Day and she loved it. Each box was wrapped with love and the extra bookish items they included were so cute. A really fun gift, so much better than the standard big box store stuff. She looked forward to receiving in the mail and next time I'll buy her a longer subscription! Thanks Blue Spider.

I just received my second box today and I love it as much as the first. I feel my heart leap every time I see a Blue Spider's Attic box on my door step. The books are in good condition for being second hand, the coffee is delicious, and the extra goodies that go with the theme for the month are tons of fun. I would recommend this box to anyone who loves books, coffee (or tea), and fun little gifts!

I have received three Attic boxes so far and look forward to getting the next one all month. The boxes comprised interesting themes that have broadened my literary horizons, coffee both delicious and abundant, and delightful corresponding goodies. I especially liked the little writer's notebook, the Wizard of Oz print and the Ninth Ray candle.
The real star of the show, however, is the curation of books based on a survey of my preferences. I have received literary fiction, fantasy and paranormal romance, sci-fi, and women's fiction, and among them, several new favorites I probably never would have found on my own. I also received a prompt response when I sent a message. Blue Spider offers an excellent service and product that I would recommend to anyone!

Haven't tasted this coffee yet, but last month's was terrific. The oz necklace is too cute for words and already around my neck!

One of the best boxes I've received! First all the theme was my favorite I love love love l. Frank Baum and the world of oz! The book selections were a range of genres not related to the theme but I'm still excited.

I just received my first gift box and I am truly impressed. The gifts are unique, the coffee looks delicious, and I don't have any of the three books included. Although I'm not sure John Grisham is an author I'd have selected, the other two are absolutely perfect! Very happy with my box and hope to order again soon. :)

Great subscription box of vintage books curated just for you! I received 3 books in my box and they were all in great condition (two were excellent and one had tiny bit of wear on the edge but still really great). I also got the bookish accessories and they were very nice too. I was a little on the fence about the theme, it was from a TV show and I don't watch TV, but if I just thought of it as being a western theme then that worked for me. The quote on the artwork was perfect - loved it and I wouldn't have know it and the other items were from a show if I wasn't told and the coffee sample was great. Very happy with my box and once I read a few of the books on my shelf I will order again. Also the quality of the books was nice enough that you could be comfortable giving as a gift.

This is my favorite box to open! It's also the most for the low price, half of other boxes yet with more books! There is always a intriguing theme with items& tea/coffee to pull us into the worlds of reading books. I got one that was all steampunk & another around sea/mermaids - wonderful! The books are excellent, too! They come individually 3 bagged so each book is another surprise to open! The books are in reusable or recyclable cute paper bags, I reused some as gift wrapping I like the print so much. - plus the books are used but like new, so ecologically this is awesome. The support is fast - I didn't read the first books although they interested me so I emailed and they offered options & switched up my genre for the future mailings - they were so fast & friendly about this change it was appreciated!

I always look forward to receiving my Attic Box. Each month, the box is thoughtful and goes along with the theme. The state of the books is also a huge amount better than I was expecting them to be. There are some books that I've received that I couldn't even tell were used because they were in such good condition. In addition, Candice and Jeremy are very nice and helpful. Candice got back to me really quickly and solved a purchasing issue I had. I definitely would recommend this box; the box itself and the people in charge of it are great!

I really dis love everything about this. If I had to pick a favorite thing though, it would be that the books are wrapped in really pretty newspaper type bags (not sure how to describe it) you're already surprised when the box arrives because you have no clue whats in there, and then your books are wrapped too! Double surprise!

I've received a couple of boxes now. I adore it! It's like having a used book store deliver awesome books with fabulous goodies! What's better then tea or coffee and a great read? Blue Spider does a wonderful job of selecting books based on the genres you select. I recommend this box to all my reader friends.

Well done!

I've been a subscriber for a few months and am so pleased with everything. Good books and good coffee presented in a neatly packaged box that is a joy to open every month. Exceptional response if you have a question. Information on ordering the coffe is included if you want more. Will continue my subscription and enjoy great books and coffee!

The Attic Box is one of my favorite subscription boxes! It's a great value. Each month, I receive three gently used books of my favorite genre, coffee or tea and wonderful book-themed treats. There's a new theme each month and the boxes are thoughtfully put-together. It's a present to myself every month. Thank you Attic Box!

I just love Blue Spider's Attic Box! Each month they send 3 gently used books along with amazing coffee and tea, and other bookish items. There can be bookmarks, magnets, stickers, etc. one month I got a print of an Alice and Wonderland print, complete with mat. I don't want to tell you much more about what's inside, I don't want to ruin the surprise. If you love to read, and love surprises, Attic Box is for you. Blue Spider's Attic Box is pure bibliophilic gold!

My first Attic Box was awesome. The theme for March was pirates, which who doesn't love a pirate theme? The items were chosen with care and love and digging into the box was super fun. I love used books of many different genres. Not knowing which books you're going to get or what genre just adds to the fun. Three books that I've never read but they all seem interesting. Can't wait for the next box. Thank you Blue Spider!

I had been away from books for some time before signing up for this box. But now thanks to this subscription I'm back to one of my favorites activities: reading!
The box I subscribe comes with three books and a couple of bookish items. I loved my first box, which was a February box and was Valentine's themed.
My second box came with fancy tea! The container arrived open but I just sent a message on facebook and the next week a new sample of tea arrived. So if you have any problems, they will make it right.
Upshot: Go ahead and subscribe to this box! You won't regret it.
And if you think three books might be too much, it's ok. You can always skip the following month.

I received my first Basic box today with two books, coffee and tea. I was very pleased with the books selected for me, and they followed the interest survey that I had completed. I had been counting the days for my "surprise" and it was such fun opening my package. I'll see how it goes, and may upgrade to the larger package soon.

This box was such a fantastic way to start trying subscription services. I'm typically rather picky about what books I read, so initially I was hesitant to let someone else do it for me. However, every single book I've gotten from them is spot on. The questionnaire that subscribers fill out before ordering probably helped, but I'm still amazed that they figured out my preferences so thouroughly. I also really appreciated the coffee and extra bookish bits that also arrived in the box. Thanks!

I just received my EIGHTH Attic box, and I can honestly say I love this subscription more each month. I've tried several other book boxes, but always found a reason to stop...usually because I wasn't reading the books I received for one reason or another. Not so with these Attic boxes! The books are used, always in stellar condition, smell great, and are things I'm eager to read, every time.
And although the books themselves are definitely the highlight of the box, the extra goodies included add a sweetness to the experience that I really enjoy but find hard to explain. They're...happy. The coffee, the bookmarks, the trinkets and magnets and hand-beaded book spiders...they have a kind of whimsy to them. I absolutely love this subscription and can't recommend it highly enough.
Also I think the proprietors might be psychic because their book picks are crazy accurate for my taste.
