The Asia Box
A curated box of three books, designed to help you read widely.
Asia is home to a myriad of cultures and stories, and through The Asia Box, we aim to provide you with an overview of what the continent has to offer. From folklore to contemporary literature to exploring untold family stories, our Asia Box is the gateway to Asia from the comfort of your own home.
Each box is includes three authors from different backgrounds, and are curated with the intent to include a recent new release, a classic, and a book we think is a must read!
* The Asia Box encompasses North, East, South, and South-East Asia. To allow for breadth and inclusion across each box, West Asia is included here.
Please note books shown in the image are not representative of what will be in your box.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
This is going to cost me a lot of money!
I've been into the shop in person and I've shopped online. I bought the Asia box online and loved it so much that I bought the Africa one straight after. They were great books and some that I would've chosen myself but am really enjoying. I'll be back for Latin America soon!

The Europe & West Asia Box
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
