Hi there!
Pretty Old Books was founded in 2018 by me, Jess Dollar, and continues to be run as a home-based, virtual book shop from the small town of Athens, Alabama. I am an avid reader and love thinking of new ways to make Pretty Old Books the most unique and engaging book shop on the planet.
What We Offer
-
Book Sets By Color and Theme
I offer a carefully curated selection of vintage book sets for home and event decor. My book sets have been used by celebrities, movie and tv studio prop departments, Airbnb owners, wedding planners, home stagers, and hundreds of individual home decorators around the world. I have also been featured in Flea Market Decor magazine.

Individual Books
-
Ephemera, Cards, and Art
I save book pages as a last resort when a book cannot be repaired. These are perfect for crafting, making envelopes, and for junk journaling.
You can even find artwork from old books suitable for framing!
I also sometimes find amazing vintage magazines and catalogs to add to the shop.
