Everything people ask us.

He is a man of taste, though he would never presume to judge yours. A romantic at heart, he is stirred by the peculiar and forgotten. He chases the timeless and storied objects, for in his eyes, nothing truly exquisite can be “old-fashioned”. Above all, he believes that reading is not to be taken lightly. When treated with reverence, it becomes more than an amusement. It becomes a portal where truly enchanting things await.

The Bazaar is the Curator’s sanctuary and home to his private archive. It is a haven where his most treasured artifacts are stored with devotion. To wander these hallowed shelves would be a privilege indeed. While certain chambers of the Bazaar may be open to the public (such as this very page), many remain shrouded in secrecy and are only revealed to those who have earned admittance.

The Curator’s Bazaar does not simply sell... it extends an invitation to be transported. This is a world where literature becomes rite and each tale offers refuge from the more unpleasant parts of reality. He provides the truly curious with a bespoke reading experience. He invites you to crack open the story, draw in the scent of a new world, tune into its melodic undercurrent, and craft the perfect libation to sip as you begin the journey.

When he has space for new readers, you may be granted access to his personal ledger. Within it, you will inscribe both your contact details (so he may reach you) and your most detailed reading preferences (so he may truly know you). Once your form is complete and your patronage confirmed, he begins his delicate task. You’ll find no bulk boxes here... only tailored experiences for each reader.

While we do encourage readers to subscribe, as it is, after all, the only way to truly immerse yourself in the Curator’s world, we understand that not all are ready to pledge themselves just yet. For those tentative souls, a one-time parcel may be procured from the Gift Atelier (or Etsy listings). On limited occasions, the Curator may also unveil special offerings. These are crafted on a whim or born from a stirring occurrence in his own life. These disappear quickly... as all good things tend to.

Each box is priced to reflect the care within:

• $50 for a one time box
• $45 per month or quarter for ongoing subscriptions\
• Shipping and taxes are always included. You'll find no surprises hidden within the price.

On rare occasions, he may reveal limited-edition collections. These gems are priced individually and shall be marked accordingly when they appear. To explore the cadence that best suits your tastes, the Curator invites you to visit the store.

Much like glimpsing a luna moth, the Curator considers each offering a rare and fleeting gift. He crafts every box with a singular reader in mind. An intimate encounter, not easily reassigned. To receive a past box would be akin to haunting another’s memories... thrilling at first, perhaps, but ultimately devoid of meaning.

From time to time, mail has been discovered in the file marked “Spam” when that was never its intended destination. The Bazaar encourages all patrons to investigate that sector of their mailbox first. On the rare occasion your letter is still unaccounted for, we encourage you to leave a message for the Curator and he will be in touch posthaste.

The Curator invites you to visit your profile page. From there, you will be able to update your records as you wish.

Updating your payment method can be handled on your account page.

If payment fails, you will receive a missive to update your billing information and try once more.

7 days before your renewal, you can expect a letter reminding you of the auto-charge and continuation of your current plan. Should you wish to change/cancel, you can access your information directly from it. Once the Curator has deposited your parcel at the local post, you will receive an email with shipping details and tracking information.

You may cancel your subscription by going to your account page. If you do choose to cancel, please remember the Curator will always welcome you back.

Should you find yourself in need of a break from the Bazaar, kindly access your account page. Please allow the Curator 48 hours to adjust your subscription to the new renewal date before reaching out again.

Once your preferences are tendered, he will begin his craft. He examines what enthralls you, what repels you, and what might send a tingle down your spine. He is devoted to selecting a book that you, and you alone, may cherish for many seasons to come.

"Would you like an adventure now, or would you like to have your tea first?” - J.M. Barrie At the Bazaar, we propose adventure. No selection details shall be dispatched ahead of your parcel’s arrival. After all, who requests the intricate twists before the story has even begun?

The Bazaar does not offer returns, refunds, or exchanges for familiar titles that may already grace your shelves. Rest assured, the Curator is remarkably thorough in his review of the details you provide. However, his precision is only as sharp as your disclosures allow and he has yet to master the art of clairvoyance. To avoid the scandal of a double acquisition, the Bazaar strongly encourages you to share your public Goodreads, StoryGraph, or other logs of note. Should that be too difficult, you may always complete the feedback surveys for each parcel. Within these, letting him know which new tomes have found their way into your personal collection.

Each book posted from the Bazaar’s shelves is in new condition... pristine and unread. Should the Curator deviate from this practice, the condition of the books will be expressly noted as part of the limited offering.

Indeed, the Curator would expect nothing less. These very questions are woven into your reading preferences ritual when you are first invited to join him. Yet he knows that no reader remains the same forever. We are all shaped by the experiences we collect... the sorrows, the delights, the painful, and the ones that take our breath away. We seek stories that reflect the lives we lead. Should you find yourself transformed or that certain tales become too tender to touch, he welcomes your new chapter with open arms. A simple note, whether sent directly or whispered through a survey, shall ensure your new path unfolds seamlessly.

In a world that urges more, the Curator encourages less. He will not clutter your shelves needlessly. Each artifact in his deliveries is meant to be revisited in the quietest of hours... especially when the world grows loud.

At present, the Bazaar offers a singular, carefully selected book per box. No more, no less. Should your appetite for literature prove insatiable, you may obtain an additional one-time box or maintain two subscriptions simultaneously. The Curator is committed to nourishing even the most ravenous of minds.

The Curator treats your sensitivities with the utmost seriousness. During your invitation, you’ll be asked which flourishes are best left untouched. At any time should new allergies arise, rest easy. A simple letter to him or a note tucked into your parcel survey will ensure your comforts remain safeguarded.

Each parcel from the Bazaar is assembled with great consideration. The Curator does not frantically race to the postmaster, he saunters, after a job well done. Kindly give him three weeks to review your preferences, select the offerings that will best call to you, and allow the parcel adequate time to travel to your door.

Though the Curator considers the world and its many cultures his muse, he is but one man and his roots, for now, remain firmly planted in the United States. Perhaps one day, the Bazaar shall extend to the distant corners he so dearly cherishes. But for the moment, the parcels shall not cross the US borders.

The heart can be impulsive. It may chase enchantment before the mind has had its say. If you find yourself in such a predicament, please send a direct letter within 24 hours of completing your purchase. Nota bene: All cancellations may be subject to a 4% transaction fee. Even the Bazaar must tend its ledgers, after all.

Due to the custom nature of the items, the Bazaar does not offer returns. However, should your correspondence reveal a mishap in transit, a missing parcel, or a rare oversight on the Curator’s part (such as a duplicate selection), the Bazaar pledges to make it right. A replacement package or credit towards your next shopping endeavor will be offered, whichever suits the matter best. For damages, kindly send a photo and a brief report within 48 hours of delivery so that he may investigate with appropriate urgency. A gentle reminder: if a parcel is returned due to an incorrect or incomplete address at checkout, the reader may be responsible for any reshipment fees. The Curator appreciates your understanding and knows that from time to time, even the most fastidious forget an integer.

The Curator would be most delighted to pass along this enchanting experience on your behalf. The Bazaar offers two distinct paths for gift-giving. The first is for those who know their recipient like a well-worn glove. Rest assured, no crease or impurity can escape your gaze. If that sounds like you, you may purchase a one time offering from the Gift Atelier. It should be an easy feat selecting the box that best matches your recipient. The second is for those who know their intended somewhat well, but not intimately enough to predict the recipient’s deepest literary desires. In that case, you may procure a permit toward an offering. The recipient will then be invited to choose the ritual that best speaks to them.

Who doesn’t love an epistle penned just for them? When paired with a gift, it’s not merely a possibility... it’s proper form. He would take great pleasure in fulfilling such a desire for any gift offering. Simply inscribe your request before remitting payment.

To share a literary encounter with those one holds most dear... the Curator couldn’t imagine a more intimate pursuit. While such arrangements are not listed plainly, those who feel particularly compelled to host a gathering of minds may yet find hope. We ask such orchestrators to write to the Bazaar with their specifics. If the stars align, he shall craft an offering befitting the occasion.

For artisans who believe their wares harmonize with the Curator’s vision, a single note shall suffice. Should he sense true alignment, you shall hear from him directly. The Bazaar values its readers above all, therefore, only offerings that elevate their experience will be considered.

If there’s one thing the Curator treasures as dearly as his readers, it is the authors who dare to conjure entire worlds. He tips his hat to you for undertaking what few can. If ever you are in need of respite from the positively maddening journey that is writing, the Curator would gladly share a cup of tea and hear your pitch. Simply drop a note, and he shall be in touch if the fates will it.

For creators who believe their audience may be stirred by the Bazaar’s offerings, a single missive shall suffice. The Curator will assess your request with great care and respond only if he perceives an unmistakable match. On rare occasions, he may extend a summons unannounced, should he feel your destinies need help entwining.
