There you are, bless you, taking time to read these words instead of just looking at the pictures and checking the prices.

What can I say?

People who are interested in the kind of things that this company of mine offers just naturally seem to be readers.

Our catalogs have unconventional long copy (a marketing no-no) that's been accused of being literate. It's filled with references to Alexander the Great, Kanchanaburi, Tolstoi and Vita Sackville-West, Wittgenstein and chaos theory, but our readers keep on reading.

“Thanks for bringing back memories of Jermyn Street,” a letter will say. Or, “Where can I get that P.D. Ouspensky book you referred to?”

If you've read this far, you may be interested in one of these support systems for what is clearly a favored activity.
