National Book Tokens
National Book Tokens are a book token that is available in the UK and Ireland. They are solely owned and issued by Book Tokens Ltd (part of the Booksellers Association Group of Companies).
National Book Tokens are sold and accepted for exchange in almost all UK bookshops, including all major chains.〔(Mail Online: About National Book Tokens )〕 The NBT scheme also sponsors the UK and Irish World Book Day, as well as other literary events and awards such as ''The Telegraph'' Book Club Tour,〔(The Bookseller: Linlithgow Bookshop selected for Telegraph tour )〕 Global Reads〔(Scoop News: Once Were Warriers Breaks Through To Top Ten )〕 and the ''Daily Mail'' Book Club〔(Daily Mail: Mail's first book choice storms up bestsellers list )〕
The Book Tokens scheme was established in 1932, by publisher Harry Raymond.〔(The Guardian: An appreciation of a token )〕 The original format of the tokens was as "lick-and-stick" stamp-like vouchers, which were glued into gift cards and had to be removed by the bookseller redeeming the token. In the 1990s, this design was changed to a "currency-style" voucher, available in a number of different denominations.〔(National Book Tokens: History )〕
After a redesign in 2003 the Book Tokens scheme was relaunched as National Book Tokens, with new vouchers designed by LMC Design. 〔(Marketing Magazine: Book Tokens unveils redesign ahead of national push )〕
In 2010, the paper vouchers were phased out. They were replaced by National Book Token gift cards which were identified by a bar code.〔(The Bookseller: 'Busy' first day for electronic gift cards )〕
