Our Story: Curating Literary Journeys Since 2024
Albion Books was founded in the heart of Oxford in 2024, born from a shared dream amongst a small collective of bibliophiles. We envisioned a world where the joy of reading was not just a pastime, but an enriching, accessible adventure for everyone. Our journey began in a quaint, book-lined room above a traditional Oxford tea shop, fueled by endless cups of tea and a passion for the written word.
From those humble beginnings, Albion Books has grown into a respected curator of literary experiences. Our philosophy is simple: to connect readers with books that resonate, inspire, and transform. We believe in the power of stories to broaden horizons, spark conversations, and foster empathy. We are more than just a subscription service; we are a gateway to new worlds and perspectives.
Our team, a diverse group of literary experts, editors, and avid readers, dedicates itself to selecting books that are not only exceptional in quality but also diverse in genre and voice. We delve into the vast landscape of literature, from timeless classics to groundbreaking contemporary works, ensuring each selection is thoughtful and enriching. We are committed to supporting both established authors and emerging talents, bringing a wide spectrum of literary voices to our readers.
Located in the historic city of Oxford, a place steeped in literary tradition, Albion Books draws inspiration from its surroundings. The echoes of literary giants who once walked these cobbled streets inspire us daily. We strive to embody the spirit of Oxford – a blend of intellectual curiosity, historical depth, and a forward-thinking approach to culture and knowledge.
