Welcome to the Prudence and the Crow Collection

We are Prudence and the Crow, the vintage book subscription service.

Since 2013, we have re-homed thousands of vintage books that may otherwise have found themselves in landfill and have introduced thousands of readers to new (old) authors they may otherwise never have discovered.

What started as a subscription service has grown to include a vintage bookshop and a range of literary gifts, stationery and homewares to suit every budget...

Let's go!
