There’s still time to wrap up a copy of #PB GIFT & BOX for your little loved one for the #holidays! GIFT & BOX is a sweet journey of friendship that showcases the wonder of receiving a #gift by mail, and the love both a grandma and child feel as they’re connected by a simple package from far away.

We're doing #GivingTuesday differently this year, donating 10% of our sales from 12PM-8PM on December 2 to five local organizations doing work that we believe meets this moment. If you can join us, RSVPing would be helpful. If not, but you still want to help, here's a thread of the organizations!
Giving Tuesday at Porter Square Books
We hope our Giving Tuesday program will make it a little easier for you by giving you a chance to do several things at once with the same spending; getting a great gift for someone you care about, supporting organizations doing great work in your community, and keeping your local fiercely independent bookstore going.
