5 out of 5 starsThese books are so, so cool. Recently bought an 18th century home and need to fill pretty large built-ins with books. My modern paper back books don’t cut it and look out of place so went searching for a place to buy vintage books at a reasonable price to help style. These came so quickly, in great shape, and it was so fun to open to see what we got. Can’t wait to order more!

5 out of 5 starsThey helped me put together a custom order for an event, and the whole experience was great! They were very responsive, sent photos of the books throughout the process, and shipped quickly. The books are beautiful and this saved me so much time trying to find them all myself.
