These beautiful boxes contain one-of-a-kind vintage books in good quality, a book sleeve, a magnifying glass, and a pair of gloves. Boxes are shipped from Quitaab, in Bangalore.Quitaab is available exclusively at Champaca.Here's the thing about old books - one doesn't just read them. One smells them, stares at them admiringly, flips through them not for what's printed but rather those handwritten notes in resplendent cursive, dedicated to loved ones. What can possibly match or well even come close to the joy of those fading lines on smelly sepia paper.Quitaab is an effort to have more of us celebrate these little things that are invaluable. These little things that are intangible. These little things that are windows into a world that once was, and perhaps will never be again.
Among the Qitaab Vintage Books, there is a copy of Charlotte Brontë's Villette. It's a J.M. Dent edition from 1901 (probably including the Edmund Dulac illustrations).
