I am a book lover who saves books. Every book listed in the shop is carefully inspected and cleaned to the best of my ability. I do my best to provide an accurate condition specific to each book and show any blemishes in an upfront manner. The book is shipped out wrapped in bubble wrap and then in brown paper, along with a wax sealed envelope containing a calligraphy handwritten thank you note and a custom bookmark. The package is tied together with a piece of twine, as if you are walking out of an old Victorian shoppe. I make the purchase a special experience because I want these antique books to find their homes - where they can be read and treasured forever. ✨
