$2 Books
They’re not perfect. But they’ve got stories.
This is our $2 Shelf—home to the beautifully beat-up, delightfully dated, and chaotically charming reads that have been around the block (or maybe the basement).
From yellowed pages and cracked spines to wildly out-of-touch advice ("low-fat marshmallow salad"???), these books may not be shiny, but they’ve still got plenty to say.
💅 Heavily used, but not hopeless
📼 Peak vintage vibes (hello, 70s fonts and 90s clip art)
🥲 Might smell like your grandma’s house—and we mean that in the best way
Perfect for readers who don’t mind a little grit, collectors of the odd and nostalgic, or anyone who wants to adopt a slightly feral book that just needs love.
