About

Dear Reader,

My name is Iona, and I am a twenty-two year old British girl who loves old books. From Scotland to Greece, Australia to Canada, I stumble around the world in search of antiquarian treasures.

This space is dedicated to dispelling misconceptions about what it means to be an antiquarian book collector. My goal is to redefine boundaries and challenge stereotypes. I am here to break down stigmas and build bridges.

The antiquarian book collecting world carries its own prestige and unwritten rules, which can be daunting to novices. As an amateur, I am here to share my experiences of my journey and reception into this world.

Trial-and-error played a huge role in the commencement of my book collecting story, and I would be honoured to share what I have learnt so that you may learn from my mistakes and gain from my successes.

Thank you for your visit.

All my love,

Iona
