Care Instructions

Our vintage books have been loved before and with a little care, they will continue to share their stories for many years. Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and damage. Avoid damp or humid areas and handle them gently, supporting the spine and turning pages with care. If needed, dust lightly with a soft, dry cloth and never use water or cleaning products.

Please Note

Each book is pre-loved and may show signs of age such as yellowed pages, light wear, or slight foxing, all of which add to its charm and history. We describe each item accurately, though exact publication dates and editions are sometimes based on research rather than confirmed records. Please check measurements and condition details before purchasing. These books are chosen for their stories and nostalgia, ready to be read, displayed, and treasured again.
