Description

Specialties

I deal in ink-​on-​paper items: books, primarily, but also indie comics, cards, magazines, ‘zines, chapbooks — anything that can be read and admired.

History

Established in 2006.

I wanted to open a bookstore. So I opened a bookstore. Later, the store became something more like a tiny archive of ink and paper and ideas. I still do that, still have that.

I always liked to read. I thought opening a bookshop would mean reading all the time. But it keeps me busier than I thought it would. I read less now then I ever did before, although I still read more, I’m sure, than many people. That’s not a boast, there’s just nothing else I really like to do. Even so, I spend more of my time buying or selling or moving books from place to place than I do reading them. Life has a warped sense of humor.
