About Pages of Time

At Pages of Time Books, we believe that some books are more than mere paper and ink, they are living testaments to beauty, wisdom, and human achievement.

Founded by Carter, a lifelong collector and passionate reader, Pages of Time was born from a love of the classics, a reverence for craftsmanship, and a desire to share the rare and the timeless with others who value the same.

Carter’s journey began as a child when, at just six years old, he picked up Tolkien’s The Hobbit and was swept into a world of wonder. That first spark ignited a lifelong pursuit: not just reading books, but curating them, restoring them, and understanding the ways they shape culture, hearts, and minds.

Our Philosophy

We do not believe in trend-chasing or disposable reading. Instead, Pages of Time is dedicated to preserving the works that endure. Books that have shaped generations, stirred imaginations, and stood the test of time.

Every title in our collection has been hand-selected by Carter himself. We offer only books he has personally read, admired, and believes are worthy of passing on. This means you will not find endless shelves of fluff or filler here... only books of lasting substance and meaningful craftsmanship.

What Sets Us Apart

  • A Collector’s Heart

    We don’t stock everything... we stock the best. Each book is carefully vetted, often partially restored, and selected for its literary, historical, or artistic value.

  • Curated Excellence

    We understand the thrill of the hunt, the beauty of a well-made edition, and the quiet joy of holding a book that has survived centuries. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just beginning your journey, we offer something truly special.

  • Giving Back

    Fifteen percent of all profits are donated to charity. We believe timeless works should support timeless good.

About the Collector

Carter is not just the founder of Pages of Time, he is its heart. With a deep admiration for authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Carter approaches his work as both scholar and steward. He believes in mastering a few great books deeply, rather than skimming through many lightly.

Beyond literature, Carter also strives for a life of balance, valuing physical health, intellectual challenge, and cultural preservation. His passion for rare books is matched only by his commitment to ensuring these treasures find their rightful place in the hands of those who will cherish them.

About the Curator

Madeleine’s favorite childhood pasthood was reading; adults would always comment on how she always brought a book everywhere and she read hundreds over the years of schooling. Little Women was always a favorite as well as The Mysterious Benedict Society, The False Prince, and a Wrinkle in Time. While attending college to major in biochemistry, she was able to take both an English class on Jane Austen and a Bible class on C.S. Lewis. Both opportunities grew her love for classic English authors and literature. Madeleine had previous experience with product photography distribution from a personal small embroidery business and has loved using her skills in Pages of Time.
