Whether you’re looking forward to reading the latest prize-winning fiction, the most talked-about non-fiction, or something new and surprising discovered on a bookshop shelf, enter now for your chance to experience the excitement of choosing a new book, and the joy of reading it.
National Book Tokens have inspired booklovers since 1932. Accepted in bookshops across Ireland – including Eason, Dubray, O’Mahony’s, Waterstones and all good independents – as well as online, their gift cards empower the lucky recipient to choose just the right book for them.
Available to purchase in bookshops or online, with e-gift cards available too, there are designs for booklovers of all ages and for all occasions. National Book Tokens gift cards are produced on FSC-certified card instead of plastic, have an expiry of eight years from last use, and expired cards can be replaced. Plus, National Book Tokens can now be added to digital wallets, so your recipient will always have their book-buying funds to hand.
Join a community of fellow booklovers by signing up to National Book Tokens Discover, play the fun and fiendish Hidden Books Game to test your literary knowledge, and support reading for everyone through National Book Tokens’ sponsorship of World Book Day and support for Read for Good, Book Aid International, and the Jhalak Prize.
