WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

“Book Beau started when one of my signed paperbacks was destroyed in my purse. I was devastated. So, I immediately went online to see if there was anything out there to protect my reads the way other cases protected electronics. I couldn't find anything with the proper size and protection. I then took a beginner sewing class so I could start creating. After countless prototypes Book Beau was born!
When I would loan out one of my books I made sure my friends got them in a Beau, to ensure they'd come back to me safely. So many of my friends in the book community loved my idea and encouraged me to start selling them. Since then, I've been so overwhelmed by the response from other readers like me. I loved knowing I wasn't the only one who had such a passion for reading and keeping their favorites reads in the best condition"
