Details
Can a 19th-century Martha Stewart ensure that your next backyard barbecue or potluck is the talk of the town? Like, in a good way?
If you’re a host with “large desires and small purse,” The Little Dinner is your essential guide to sidestepping a badly orchestrated dinner party. Learn how to avoid the most egregious errors, like serving your claret too cold (Keats got it wrong), timing the sorbet improperly (make sure it comes after the roast but before the game), or inviting too many dull people to your table (just please don’t).
Available for preorder. Ships on or before November 10.
Materials + Care
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.)
Shipping + Returns
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.
