Give your TBR pile the love it deserves
With our exclusive memberships. Think of them as the big brass key that will unlock even more joy from the act of reading, with exclusive product access, behind the scenes peeks, and a community of like-minded book lovers to fully nerd out with.



Epic stories deserve epic treatment
And frankly, so do you. Forget dogeared dust jackets, corporate-looking Kindle covers and stealing snippets whenever time allows, and say hello to sumptuous self-care in bibliophile form. Plus, wave goodbye to being the only person you know who’s obsessed with a particular series: the Paper and Word community of bookworms love nothing more than poring over faves old and new!

Love seeing behind the scenes of this small yet mighty business!
It's lovely to see how much work goes on behind the scenes, getting to know Abby and her views and dreams for the business. Also seeing the packing/sewing process - really makes you appreciate the work that goes into small yet mighty businesses like Paper and Word!

Best decision I've ever made
Been a longtime P&W customer since 2018 and have been fortunate enough to be part of the secret society since it first came to be. Best decision I've ever made. No longer have as much stress about getting the chosen booksleeve(s) in new collection drops because of the early access.

Makes you feel really special
Such a great membership. Its a very good price for what you get and the book sleeves you get every few months are so beautiful. Although I'm running out of space to put my book sleeves now (not that thats a bad thing). I love all the behind the scenes stuff that Abby shares too. Makes you feel really special being the first to know everything. Highly recommend if you're thinking about joining.

Love all the BTS!
My favourite thing about the Secret Society is the look behind the curtain, and all the behind the scenes access we get! It's always fun watching the secret stories and getting to hear interesting happening before everyone else!

One of those memberships that’s really worth it
I’ve been a secret society member for years now and I don’t know if I could ever go without it. Having access to all the collections early is so exciting and I also love that there’s always a box with a treat showing up at my door throughout the year (I completely forget about it so it’s always a good surprise!). Overall I love the secret society, it’s one of those memberships that’s really worth it.
