In recent weeks, several bookish items that seem unusually attuned to the times in which we are living have come to our attention. Any of them would make a perfect gift for a fellow bibliophile, or frankly for yourself if you need an autumnal treat of the not-pumpkin-spice variety.

Social distancing being what it is, handwritten notes are a safe and mindful way to communicate with friends and family, particularly those who may be elderly, compromised, or alone (and bonus points for supporting the USPS while you’re at it). The “Classic Paperbacks” notecards pictured above, featuring gouache portraits of vintage paperbacks by Richard Baker, are truly miniature works of art. Produced by Princeton Architectural Press (PAP), the box contains twelve cards with twelve different designs—among them Mrs. Dalloway, The Wizard of Oz, and Dubliners—for $16.95.
