Indie Inks: Vintage Books and Prints For the Smart Home

I have always been in love with books. Over the years, I kept reading them until I got a PhD. Now, I read them to my boys. I buy 'em at book sales. I stack them up in corners. And I sell them.

I choose books for their beauty and the quality of the words inside. Every book is carefully photographed, researched, and cataloged. And each book is a historical object that deserves love and attention. When I choose books, I wear two hats: scholar and a lover of home decor.

Browse through my shop and get addicted to books, too. Be bookish!
