For the love of old books.

With the ongoing disappearance of brick and mortar bookstores a great pastime is being lost. The countless hours I used to spend browsing, reading, and discovering rare finds in the quiet aisles of a quaint used bookstore are now themselves rare and hard to come by. My Etsy shop is dedicated to those well spent lost hours and aspires to do online something of what a well-curated bookshop of old used to do: bring together in one place a great collection of rare books for book lovers. These are the books I love to find, the ones I can't help but buy, the ones I want in my dream library. It is has been my pleasure to find them and collect them here for you to find in turn. I hope you appreciate them almost as much as you would if they were in that lovely old bookshop I'm always dreaming of.

Yours truly,
Alex Hacker
