Since launching on Etsy in 2022 and expanding with our own website in 2023, the time has come for us to say au revoir—for now.

Over the past few years, the Blind Date with a Book market has become increasingly saturated and, combined with rising costs, it is unfortunately no longer viable for us to continue with this side of the business at present. This isn’t necessarily goodbye forever, though. We’ll be reviewing things regularly and hope that one day we’ll be able to return online.

In the meantime, you’ll still be able to find our Blind Dates at events across Stockport and Manchester in partnership with Metis Bookshop. Be sure to follow our social media channels to keep up to date with where we’ll be popping up next.

We’ll also continue selling second-hand books online through Metis, so please take a look at our eBay shop—you never know what treasures you might discover.

Finally, thank you for your support, encouragement, and purchases over the last few years. Every order, message, recommendation, and review has meant so much to us.

We hope to see you again online in the future.

With gratitude,
Athina

🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

Apologies if you’ve been trying to place an order through our website recently — it seems the computer gremlins snuck in and caused a bit of chaos! 👾💻

We’re happy to report that normal service has now resumed, the gremlins have been successfully eradicated, and everything is back up and running as it should be 🎉📚

Thank you for your patience and support while we got things sorted ❤️

🌍♻️ International Plastic Free Day ♻️🌍

At Lost and Bound, being eco-friendly is at the heart of what we do 💚📚

Every preloved book we rescue, rehome and re-read helps give stories a second life and keeps perfectly good books out of landfill. Choosing second-hand books is a small change that can make a big difference for the planet 🌎

We also try to reduce waste wherever we can by:
📚 Reusing packaging materials whenever possible
🚐 Collecting unwanted books so they can be loved again instead of thrown away

Books are meant to be shared, treasured and passed on — and we love helping make that happen ♻️✨

Thank you to everyone who supports small, sustainable businesses like Lost and Bound. Every book purchase and reuse helps us take another small step towards a greener future 🌱

🌙📚 Stay Up All Night Day… anyone else tempted? 📚🌙

Sometimes, the best kind of nights are the ones where you say “just one more chapter”…
and suddenly it’s 2am 👀✨

Stay Up All Night Day is the perfect excuse to embrace it—
no alarms, no early nights, just you, a cosy spot, and a book you can’t put down 💙

And let’s be honest…
there’s something magical about reading when the world is quiet 🌌
📖 The pages turn a little faster
☕ The drinks taste a little better
✨ And the stories feel even more immersive

Our Blind Date with a Book is made for nights like this…
a mystery waiting to keep you hooked long past bedtime 😴➡️📚

So tonight… are you staying up for “just one more chapter”?

🌼📚 It’s Wildflower Week! 📚🌼

A week to celebrate the beauty of wildflowers and the incredible role they play in our world 💚

They help support bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and are vital for maintaining biodiversity 🌍🐝

At Lost and Bound, we love anything that gives things a second life—just like wildflowers bringing colour and life back to our landscapes 🌱

Our Annual Book Treat – Blind Date with a Book (12 Books) is all about that same idea…
📖 A collection of pre-loved books, each with its own story
🌿 A sustainable way to enjoy reading all year round
✨ A surprise every time you unwrap your next “bloom” of a book

Because just like a wildflower meadow…
you never know what beautiful surprises you’ll discover next 💫
