Assembled by hand in Edinburgh, The Antiquarian Book Box brings dark academia to life. No two boxes are ever the same—every book has a history, each piece of ephemera is an echo from the past, and vignettes of Edinburgh lore are tucked away inside. What arrives on your doorstep is not just a delivery - it's a discovery.
Each box includes:
A hardcover book, 50–200 years old
A collectable piece of Edinburgh lore
Antique ephemera - including a letter, postcard, or map
A tasseled bookmark
A bookplate designed by Houselore
Access to exclusive Houselore shop discounts
Every box is curated, wrapped, and posted in Edinburgh - the spiritual home of dark academia and the inspiration for great literature throughout the centuries.
