2-Book Monthly Subscription

TWO curated used books delivered monthly in excellent condition.

A minimalist monthly book subscription. Each month, you’ll receive one hand-selected, excellent-condition used book chosen for its quality, lasting impact, and readability.

Your first month includes a free extra book.

I read widely and curate deliberately. No hype books, no mass-market paperbacks, and no low-quality copies. Every selection is chosen for strong writing, originality, and staying power.

After checkout, you’ll get a short form where you can share your preferred genres, favorite books, anything you want to avoid, and your ideal book length. This helps me match your taste and avoid duplicates.

Shipping is $4.99 per month. Books ship next business day.

Start a simple, intentional reading rhythm without the decision fatigue.

What You Get Every Month

• Two curated books selected by hand

• Excellent gently used condition — clean covers, tight bindings, no junk copies

• Minimalist, recyclable packaging

• A short note explaining why the picks were chosen

• Your personal preferences applied (books you love, authors to avoid, mood)

• Next-business-day shipping on your first month

• A consistent monthly reading rhythm — one great book delivered like clockwork

This subscription is designed to remove decision fatigue and deliver books you’re actually excited to pick up.

How It Works

1. Subscribe monthly
   Simple monthly billing. Cancel anytime.

2. Complete your quick preferences form
   After checkout, you’ll answer a few short questions:
   – 3–5 books you love
   – Authors or genres to avoid
   – Goodreads profile (optional)
   – Your ideal book length
   – Anything you’re in the mood for lately

3. I curate and ship
   Your first two books (plus your free bonus book) ships next business day.
   Each month after, your next selection arrives on schedule.

4. Read, enjoy, repeat
   A steady, intentional reading rhythm — without the decision fatigue.

What Types of Books I Send

A curated mix across categories such as:

• Literary fiction

• Narrative nonfiction

• General nonfiction (ideas, history, memoir)

• Prize winners

• Classics

• Banned books

• Fantasy/Sci-fi (character-driven, widely loved)

I avoid:

• Textbooks

• Romance

• Religious texts

• Mass-market throwaways

• Technical or specialized manuals

• Heavily damaged ex-library copies

Books should feel interesting, substantial, and worth your time — not filler.

Replacement Guarantee

If you ever receive a book you’ve clearly already read, a duplicate from past months, or a book that arrives damaged, I’ll replace it quickly — no return required.

Why Used Books?

Great books don’t expire.
Using gently used copies means:
– higher-quality books for less
– sustainably keeping books in circulation
– each shipment feels more personal than mass box-store inventory

I only send copies I’d be proud to keep on my own shelf.

A Note From Me

Middleman Books is built around one idea: remove the noise and highlight books with lasting impact. Each selection is personal — not from an algorithm, not from a trend cycle.

If you want a thoughtful monthly reading rhythm, I’m excited to curate for you.
