Banned Books Box

Online-Only Bookshop

Woman-Owned
Banned Books Box is where literature defies constraints and challenges norms. Each month, subscribers receive one or two banned books, chosen from the past decade, for adult or young adult readers. Other surprises include thoughtfully designed bookmarks and hand-picked book-related items to enrich the reading experience. We are also a semi-permanent shop selling banned books and bookish merchandise at Northside Marketplace in Akron, Ohio.
