About

Our mission is a straightforward one: to provide delight to readers. If our goods and/or website has done this, we encourage you to support us in whatever way makes sense for you, whether that is signing up for our email list, sharing this site with a wordy mate, or purchasing something that may just provide a little bit of light to your day. Respectable Books is a collaboration between Chas Gillespie, a writer, and Emily Wilson Gillespie, an artist. Our third collaborator, about whom some mention was made on the “our story'“ page’s appropriately lengthy preamble, remains a mystery.

Returns and Exchanges

We guarantee satisfaction on your order. If you receive something that does not pass your rigorous application of discernment, please contact us and we will make it right. We accept returns for 30 days. Please double-check your sizing before ordering.

Shipping

We ship everywhere in the world that has a visible address, including chateaus high on a mountain precipice and riverside hideouts covered by leaves and branches. Expect us to ship within 3-5 days. It takes an additional 3-5 days for the items to arrive. The cost of delivering items is a decision by the shipping company. We believe gratification delayed is gratification earned, in the value of anticipation, in peering out the front window, wondering, “Is today the day?” That said, we are working to bring these times and costs down.
