Books to gift a new vegan – Community Answers
A good book can make a big impression on us all if written and read at the right time in our lives. For those looking into veganism or eating more plant-based, education and information in the form of a good book can be the tipping point to taking the plunge.
With this in mind we recently asked the community to tell us which books they think should be gifted to a ‘new vegan’ and here are just a few of their fantastic responses.
We’d love to add to the list so if you think there is a book that needs to be added then be sure to let us know in the comments section below.
Enjoy the selection.
