Wal of Books, /wôl əv books/ noun

Wal Of Books is an effort to create a book fair of my own imagination, an attempt to reawaken that whimsy, to administer the joy we felt when we attended the book fair in our younger days.

I’m Waldain. It’s what “Wal” is short for. I am a writer, photographer, cartoonist, and now with this website, blogger! I am working towards hosting my very own original book fair, I’ll thank you for joining me on this journey.

    I do love people showing me love in any fashion, but I am trying to build up legitimacy with my online shop and hand-to-hand sales don’t show up on my Etsy. I will sell it to you this way, but shopping online from Wal of Books is preferred for me for now.

  • Why is the “Wal” spelled like that?

    Because the first ‘L’ is a lesson, and after that, we no longer take L’s. Just kidding! It’s because my name is Waldain, “Wal” for short. Once you understand that I have an unhealthy love of puns, you’ll come one step closer to grasping the true essence of this project.
