  Seems like an early kind of gift certificate scheme. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/nov/17/weekend.lucymangan https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/nov/17/weekend...

    We still have book tokens here (Ireland). They're a gift voucher that's only redeemable for books, and not tied to a specific shop

      They were/are much prized as an 'improving' birthday present or prize for children.
