§ ABOUT — COLOPHON

A SHORT MANIFESTO.

An independent bookshop, filed by hand and shipped by hand.

§ A SHORT MANIFESTO.

We started this shop because the algorithm forgot how to recommend a book. We file titles by subject. We read what we sell. We do not stock anything we wouldn't reach for ourselves.

We wrap each parcel in unbleached paper and send it to the address you write down. The list is updated by hand on Thursdays. It will never run a flash sale.
