Wholesale for Booksellers

A new standard for the pocket classic.

Beautifully printed bunkobon-format world classics. Modernized, abridged, designed for the way people read now — and paired with a free companion app your customers already want.

Don Quixote bunkobon paperback with AirPods and the WellRead app on iPhone

Made to be carried, made to be finished

The bunkobon format invented modern Japanese reading culture. We're using it to make the world's literary canon something people actually pick up.

Pocket-sized

4 × 6 inches. Slips into a jacket pocket or handbag. Customers reach for it the way they reach for their phone.

Built to last

Stitch-bound, lay-flat, archival-grade paper. The kind of object readers display on a shelf — not stuff in a drawer.

Companion app included

Every book unlocks a free iOS app: audio narration, AI-powered notes, reading progress sync. No subscription required.
