The Gift of Story - Perfectly Picked Audio Book Club
Book Passage will send an audio book especially curated for you (or your giftee) to your inbox where you will be invited to set up a Book Passage/Libro.fm account (if you don't have one) and begin listening right away.
We make the perfect match by gathering some input from you (or your giftee) to inform our selection process. Leveraging our 45+ years of book selling experience (not computer generated algorithms), our team selects a recently published title we hope you will enjoy. Our team collectively reads and listens to over 75 books a month so we know what’s going to be good before the best seller lists do!
We also take requests! Our goal is for you to love every story sent so in case we miss the mark, we gladly make exchanges until you are happy. Book Passage has been curating book lists since the 1970’s for ages 1 to 99+! We are thrilled to now offer this service to you in audio format.
The Perfectly Picked Audio Book Club is the ideal gift for the hard-to-buy person, the one with a long commute, the multi-tasker, knitter, dog walker, teacher, baby sitter, father-in-law, cook....anyone who loves a good story! (and who doesn't?!!!)

How do you determine what to send?
Our booksellers have been recommending books for over 45 years. Our team reads over 75 books a month and meets with streams of avid readers every day in our San Francisco and Marin County stores. We also periodically check in to see if the selections are engaging and how we can improve. We stay current on up and coming authors, and know of all highly anticipated novels 6-12 months in advance.
Can I request a specific title?
Yes, just email sage@bookpassage.com with the title you want or would like to send to your giftee.
When will the first books be sent?
You can let us know if there is a specific date you would like a book sent but typically we select and email the audio books at the beginning of every month.
Can I add more books? Yes. We offer refill packages.
Why do I get so many emails from Libro.fm?
Libro.fm is the engine that helps support our audio book program. You are able to purchase from them directly, but you will not receive personalized curation or recommendation support. Purchasing from Book Passage includes the services and knowledge of a personal shopper or librarian.
Do you do exchanges?
Yes, of course. Just email sage@bookpassage.com.
How do I renew?
You will receive an email prior to the expiration date inviting you to purchase a refill to deposit into your account. You can also always email sage@bookpassage.com for any help.
I have a question that isn’t answered here. Whom do I ask?
Just email Sage at sage@bookpassage.com
