Update 1/4/2021

- We are not open to the public for browsing. We are fulfilling online orders only for the foreseeable future. We believe the science behind the coronavirus means the safest option for our staff (some of us have high-risk members in our households) and our customers is to stay closed for the time being, especially as cases are rising in Madison. To get the latest updates on our reopening plan follow us on Instagram & Facebook & subscribe to our newsletter. Our staff is working overtime to ensure orders are fulfilled as quickly and neatly as possible. We appreciate your patience and support!

If you placed an order and we told you that it shipped out to you in early December, please note that we just learned from USPS that major regional hub closures have significantly delayed thousands of packages, including many of ours. We are happy to check on particular packages that we sent out during that time frame, but please know that our likely answer will be that the USPS doesn't have much information available to us, but they do have the packages and are working as quickly as possible to push them through the mail stream to their destinations. We apologize for the delay and request patience and good humor as all of us, including mail carriers, are working as hard as possible to make holidays happen despite an international pandemic.

Luckily, books make great presents no matter when they arrive! We know your loved ones will appreciate the personal touch and understand that this is an unusual year.

We miss you dearly!

Love,

Room
