About The Bookkeeper

Hi Friend! My name is Emilia and I am based out of San Marcos, Texas. Over the years, my personal library has been continuously growing. So much so, that I had the idea to create a space where preloved books could be passed on with care. The Spare Shelf is a way of curating comfort, whimsicalness, and illumination. Taking it one book at a time.

This is a welcoming and cozy space for readers who love the feeling of a well traveled book. Those who understand that there’s something special about preloved pages. It’s about celebrating the charm of dog-eared pages or scribbled in margin notes.

The feeling that a book has lived a life before you and has found you to tell the tale…

Every book you find here has been gently loved, thoughtfully selected, and is ready for it’s next chapter with someone like you

Let’s Keep in Touch!
