Welcome!

Bartleby Willard manufactures, markets, and sells Pure Love — the eternal spiritual Good that all earthly loves partake of to the degree they truly love. 

Bartleby wrote seven books and then took them down. He is now — after thorough reviews and even more thorough soul-searchings — replacing them one by one.

You can read a collection of his first nine-ish years of effort at Skullvalley After Whistletown Booksellers: A Readable Reader on From-Bartleby’s Buy Our Books! page.

If you’d like rerelease updates, we’d love to oblige:

    We spent some time writing for this site.

    See Logbook Chapters for an overview.

    We were really passionate about selling Pure Love for a while (maybe we still are; it’s hard to make out spiritual ambitions when the oh-so-human loneliness makes one so very sleepy cuddly desperately-shattered-like-shards-of-a-yesterday-window-pane):

    But lately we are redoing our many books and dreaming of new ones; that’s keeping us busy.
