We'd love to welcome you back to Readings with a free book

To celebrate the reopening of our stores and to thank our customers for their wonderful support during lockdown, we are giving away free books! We repeat, free books!

Starting on Wednesday 28 October, every customer who spends $30 or more will be offered a free copy of either The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen or If This Is A Man / The Truce by Primo Levi.

Both these titles are part of the Hachette Essential range – a curated selection of must-have modern classics. Part satire, part espionage thriller and part historical fiction, The Sympathizer was named winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2016, while If This Is A Man / The Truce contains both parts of Levi’s classic account of life as a concentration camp prisoner.

When purchasing in-store, staff will provide one of these books to you with your purchase.

When purchasing online, please write ‘Welcome back!’ in the notes field to ensure a free book is included with your order.

Please note that book allocation is random and we unfortunately can’t guarantee which of these two books customers will receive as part of the offer.

This offer is available online and in-store. It will begin on Wednesday 28 October and will continue as long as stocks last.
