Excited to share the latest addition to my shop: Large Metal 4x6 Index Card Storage, 2 drawers
Open now!
I recently opened an etsy shop full of vintage books and storage items.
The Pretentious Academic is about quality and beauty in the everday.
There will be a wider variety of items in the future but I wanted to start posting things now.
Some items include:
A set of four F. Scott Fitzgerald novels. Publication dates range from 1948-1969
The Study Of American Folklore, 1968
Metal Index Card File (multiple listings with different colors and sizes)
A large 4x6 index card drawer set
