Even today, when I am faced with pages to write, my orders of magnitude are converted into physical intensity. It may seem incongruous or trivial to compare the noble effort of literature with that of the asphalt grinder. For me, they are equal and, to be honest, cycling, because it has often stirred my soul, has seemed to me to be an unparalleled preparation for facing the vertigo of words, the depth of language in which the path is narrow to find the right tone, the right rhythm, the image, the color, the music, the emotion, the grace." Éric Fottorino.


"Aujourd'hui encore, quand me guettent des pages d'écriture, mes ordres de grandeur sont convertis en intensité physique. Cela peut sembler incongru ou trivial de comparer le noble effort des lettres et celui du rémouleur de bitume. Pour moi, ils sont égaux et, pour tout dire, la fibre cycliste, parce qu'elle m'a souvent remué la chair, m'est apparue comme une préparation sans pareille pour affronter le vertige des mots, l'épaisseur du langage au milieu duquel le chemin est étroit pour trouver le ton juste, le bon rythme, l'image, la couleur, la musique, l'émotion, la grâce." Éric Fottorino.

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
