Literary Merchandise for Discerning Book Lovers

Find something for yourself, and get one for your bookish friends!

Founded by book lovers, built for community.

Pages & Ink Books began as a dream to turn literary passion into real-life connection. 
From our first literary tea party launch event, our goal has been to bring bookish joy, friendship, and a little magic to the San Diego event scene.
