A two minute questionnaire covers what you love, what you have outgrown, and the one genre you never dare to pick up.
We comb flea markets, estate clearances and exchange shelves across Zurich for editions with a past life and a good spine.
Three books, paper wrapped and tied, land at your door with a handwritten note from the picker. No spoilers, ever.
Quiet novels for long mornings. Nothing urgent happens, and that is the point.
Three whodunits from three decades. We wrap them so the covers stay secret until you open the crate.
Essays, letters and one strange memoir rescued from a house clearance in Enge.
Dear reader,
The green hardback in this crate spent forty years in a lake house in Ticino. The previous owner pencilled her holidays in the margins, and I left every note in place. Read chapter twelve by a window if you can.
The other two disagree with each other completely. I put them together because you told us you like an argument.
Selma, picker of crate No 14
