About Us
This began as a personal obsession — a single box of old books inherited from a distant relative, their pages yellowed and margins whispering with notes in fountain pen. I didn’t know what I was looking for at first — only that certain books felt different. Not because they were valuable, but because they held time. History, ideas, errors, lives.
What started as a private collection slowly became a mission: to give overlooked or orphaned volumes a second life — and to connect them with the readers, collectors, and wanderers who could feel what I felt. This store is for those who read with their hands, follow the scent of paper, and know that meaning often hides in the margins.
Our Curation Principles
We collect with intention, favoring books with presence: marked by history, crafted with care, and rich with quiet significance. Rarity, for us, lies in the story each volume carries.
01
Provenance Over Popularity
We seek out books with lineage — personal libraries, private press runs, or volumes with a traceable past. Each title is selected not for trend, but for the quiet stories it carries.
02
Marginalia & Memory
Annotations, inscriptions, and imperfections are embraced. We believe in books as lived objects — every underlining and dog-ear is part of the narrative.
03
Obscure & Esoteric Threads
From forgotten philosophical tracts to 19th-century spiritualist texts, we favor the hidden corridors of literature. The stranger, the better.
04
Craftsmanship & Materiality
We give special attention to bindings, papers, typography, and the physical artistry of books. A well-made book is as much a tactile experience as a literary one.
