<\/p>\n
This is not an uncommon term for the present day reader. In simple words, a book subscription box is a gift to the book lover\u00a0in you. The box would\u00a0include one book (or more) and several bookish merchandise (bookmarks, notepads, stationery items etc) and sometimes even snacks to munch on while you read. The boxes are often themed and the whole package sticks to the theme of the month. The books are usually not announced beforehand, so it is exactly like opening a surprise gift to yourself when you unbox one of them.<\/p>\n
