Book / Shop is a new project undertaken by the always insightful and well-read Erik Heywood: "We're committed to the reading experience. The surprise of one page turning to the other. The little luxury of sitting in a great reading chair, inhaling the scent of a beautifully made book. The luscious heft of three or four good reads in a sturdy bookbag as you head out into the world. The hundred discoveries waiting at a used bookstore; the refuge of a library. In addition to books, we'll offer those irresistible things that go along with them; things like bookcases and reading chairs, reading lamps and bookplates, bookbags and book-related artworks. We believe that a well-made reading environment encourages us to take our time, to have those experiences with books that modern life tries to replace with a rush of empty conveniences."
Book/Shop, Erik Heywood
