The Do Books Series: The Best Eco-Friendly Books for Mindful Living UK
Most books are too long. The Do Books series is built on the opposite principle: short, focused, beautifully made guides written by genuine experts, designed to be read and actually used. Each title covers one subject with depth and clarity, printed on FSC-certified Munken paper and produced with the same care and intention as the content inside.
At ALEWK.CLUB we stock five titles from the Do Books series, from £9.99 each. Here's the full range.
What Is the Do Books Series?
Who publishes Do Books?
Do Books is an independent publisher based in Wales, founded on the belief that a short, well-crafted book can change how you think and act. Each title is written by a practitioner, not a generalist: someone who has spent years mastering their subject and can distil it into something genuinely useful. The books are small enough to read in an afternoon and substantial enough to return to for years.
Are Do Books eco-friendly?
Yes. Every title in the series is printed on FSC-certified Munken paper, sourced from sustainably managed forests. The production values are high throughout: these are books designed to last, not to be discarded.
What makes Do Books good gifts?
They're specific, beautiful, and genuinely useful. Unlike generic coffee table books, each Do title gives the reader something to do: a skill to learn, a practice to start, a perspective to shift. They're the kind of gift that gets used rather than displayed and forgotten.
