We're opening a fantasy bookshop!
Have you seen the news? We are working towards opening our very own independent bookshop in spring/summer 2025!
We will be stocking a vast amount of fantasy books alongside all of the incredible bookish products you currently know and love us for.
But we need your help to open! You can support by backing our Kickstarter and choosing one of the incredible rewards we've put together for you!
We need to hit our goal by 28th February to be able to bring this magical independent bookshop to the Wirral, so please share it with everyone you know!
Hand-curated gifts for book lovers
Welcome to Paper + Word, where we’ll never judge the size of your TBR pile (in fact, we’ll help you add to it – because a new book is never a bad idea.)
Alongside our best-selling luxury handmade book sleeves, we sell unique bookish gifts and bookworm essentials for people who love reading for what it is: the ultimate soul-soother in an ever busier world. Whether you read in every spare moment or you average out at once a week, we’re here to make that moment of self-care as ease-filled and luxurious as possible.
Check out our fresh New Year bookish treats, hot off the press!

Our Reviews
Best Purchase in Years
I bought my book cosy a few years ago now and it’s been the best bookish purchase I’ve made. My books used to get so crushed and damaged in my bag but I’ve never had that issue since I got myself one so please if you love to take a god book around with you then I highly recommend!
Beautiful Squishy Goodness
Love love love my beautiful sleeve! I was upset that my favourite graphic novel was getting damaged in my bag (paperback but big and chunky) and now I can carry it round safely and soundly :) it came nice and quickly too considering it's totally handmade to such a high quality <3
Gorgeous High Quality Products
If you want high quality sleeves with gorgeous designs, then this small company is perfect. I absolutely love my switch sleeve! Circumstances out of the business’s control meant that it took a little longer for my sleeve to be delivered, but they communicated everything clearly and quickly so it wasn’t an issue at all. Would highly recommend!
The Quirky Cup Collective is here!
We are SO excited to finally reveal our grand plans to be a UK stockist for the notorious Quirky Cup Collective! We have reading journals, dateless planners, lined journals, pens, bookmarks, stickers + more!
Each and every product has a luxurious, magical feel to it. There's an abundance of foiling, perfectly weighted pens, the thickest tassels on planet earth, and lots of coordinating items!
The team are absolutely obsessed with Sydonie's creations (as they should be), and we just know you will be too.
Books and stationery go together like Sam & Frodo. That’s why we stock a specially curated collection including journals, totes, washis and more
