Welcome to The Emerald Shelf! This mobile bookshop is run by the wife and husband duo, Erica and Nate. We are passionate about bringing books in the fantasy, romantasy, romance, and teen/children genres to your own shelves! Scroll down below to learn a little bit more about each member of our team :)

  • Erica

Borne from a passion for reading and books that has spanned 30 years, she brings her passion and expertise to the bookselling world. She also hand draws and designs a lot of the bookish goodies you'll find in the shop!

  • Nate

    Spreadsheet extroadinaire and requisite trailer driver and parker, Nate is ESSENTIAL to The Emerald Shelf team. He is the one behind the scenes making sure all the numbers add up, encouraging Erica's every fantastical whim, and manuevering the trailer (because that ish is hard). We couldn't do it without him!

How do I order books from The Emerald Shelf?

Under our Shop > Books tab, you can either purchase one of our special edition books that is listed in our products on our website, or you can go through our bookshop.org link at the top of the page to purchase any book you want!

How long does shipping take?

In stock items ship on Fridays either via USPS Media Mail (for book-only orders) or via USPS Ground Advantage (for orders with non-book products or merchandise).

What if I need to return my items?

Due to the nature of books and or/custom merchandise, most items are generally not returnable. However, if your order comes damaged in any way, we will offer a replacement or refund to ensure you are satisfied!
