Bookish by Lucy Mangan - POS Pack (including a copy of the book!)

How does reading shape our lives?

From the author of Bookworm, comes a love letter to all those who come alive when they pull a new treasure off the shelf, stay up late reading just one more page and pack their suitcases with clothes wedged between books instead of the other way around.

40 display packs are available to request from Vintage. Packs include:

  • 2 x paperback copies of Bookworm for the library
  • 1 x hardback copy of Bookish for the library
  • Pack of 20 bookmarks
  • Downloadable digital assets including posters and social media assets

More about the book

'A gorgeous hug of a book – funny, warm and charming' Marian Keyes 

'Lucy Mangan on books is like butter on toast: perfect' Caitlin Moran

Bookish picks up where Bookworm left off: From exploring the stacks as a student, to finding her feet as a bookseller-turned-journalist, falling for a fellow bookworm in an independent bookshop, escaping the doldrums of new motherhood and finally building a (book) room of her own, Bookish is the story of a life spent falling in love with reading. 

Lucy Mangan chronicles her years of buying, borrowing and hoarding everything from well-worn literary classics to steamy bonkbusters, gripping thrillers, young adult novels and other not-so-guilty pleasures. Brimming with literary insights, wry observations and stellar recommendations, this book is an ode to the bookish places – from local libraries to bookstores big and small – and the stories that make us who we are.

How to take part

This is one pack per public library. If you are ordering more than one pack (to disperse to other libraries in your region) you need to also email Kimberley.Sheehan@readingagency.org.uk to notify her of the individual library names that the packs will be used at. Alternatively, you can do individual orders for each library in the shop.

You can order the packs until 12 March but they may sell out before this date.

The publisher will be dispatching your resources. They will receive a dispatch list with your contact name and work address (which you give) for delivery. They will only deliver the pack requested and the dispatch list will then be deleted after the packs have been sent.
