What is Literati Cultura?

Literati Cultura™: A Collector's Club is a monthly subscription program whose subscribers are shipped or pick up in-store a specially selected signed first-edition of some of the best, most important, and noteworthy fiction being published today.

What do subscribers receive?

A signed first edition, letterpress, and letter of introduction--which we type out on one of our antique typewriters--are included with each month’s book.

What exactly is a first edition?

A first edition is the original, limited printing of a book. First editions are valuable because they are the closest edition to the author's original work. Subsequent printings can have changes to the text, cover art, and printing quality. A signed first edition is an important and unique addition to a personal library, and is important and valuable to book dealers and book collectors, too.

What types of books should subscribers expect?

We began Literati Cultura in the hopes of extending the mission of our bookstore to those readers who might not live immediately in our neighborhood: to support strong, thoughtful, and provocative writing. We select novels and short story collections which we believe will engage and challenge our subscribers. These books are specifically chosen by our curator who attempts to include a mix of well established authors and new, up-and-coming literary talents.
