Angela is beautiful, talented, ambitious, and Black. When she leaves the confines of her family and Philadelphia for the artistic life in Greenwich Village, she makes the choice to enjoy all of the advantages that come with being perceived white. But being a white woman still means being a woman, and Angela soon finds that navigating love, career, and friends won’t be easy on her own.

Plum Bun, a coming-of-age novel, takes a frank look at love and identity and asks, what do we give up and what do we gain when we let the perceptions of others shape who we are?

Feel free to judge these books by their covers. And their French flaps. And their high-quality Munken paper. We put a lot of effort and time into making the physical books live up to the incredible stories inside them.

With that said, these books should last a really, really, really long time. Whether you're an annotator and page dog-earrer, or if you prefer your books pristine, our editions were crafted with each reader in mind. The spines lay completely flat without breaking so they'll look good on your shelf for years to come.

Each book comes hand-wrapped by one of our team members (it is usually Pip, she is the best at it.)

We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

The books we reprint are from another time and place. Some may contain language, social sensibilities, and racial depictions that are rightly jarring and objectionable, even abhorrent, to the modern reader, as they surely should have been to the readers and writers of the past.

While this note is not intended to serve as a trigger warning, it recognizes that we will not enter these pages equally and that our individual experiences will give rise to different interpretations of and unique interactions with the text. Real engagement is always emotional, deeply personal, and potentially painful.

We trust that you, dear Reader, come to these pages as practiced holders of nuance, ready to sit with the difficult questions that arise from challenging thoughts and texts. It is our sincere hope that we, as a thoughtful reading community, are inspired to engage with one another with curiosity, courage, and respect.
