Make It Yours, Then Pass It On

We believe books should be lived in. Go ahead—dog-ear the pages, highlight your favorite lines, and write your thoughts in the margins. A second-hand book is a shared history. Once you’ve read the final page, be kind and pass it on to a friend or leave it in a new city. Let the book continue its journey from our neighborhood to the rest of the world.
