Welcome to The Traveling Chair: Book Flights

At The Traveling Chair, books will be parceled in discrete, relevant, and contextual packages called “Book Flights”. As in wine-tasting, when one is given small amounts of wine that together create a larger taste-picture, each book flight allows access to a literary concept.

For now, this is a small site whose main premise is that, with reading, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Through these flights, the reader will be given not only access to material, but satisfying understanding of a topic – a miniature education.

The Traveling Chair is the anti-thesis to Barnes & Noble and to Amazon. People want to read, now more than ever – but unlike boutique stores, or locavore restaurants, there is currently no way to simplify the overwhelming process of finding a book that one will enjoy. The Traveling Chair’s unique allows reading and knowledge to be attainable luxuries.

For now, I will be posting my own flights. Soon, I'll have collaborators and will have a broader range of updated, curated, flights courtesy of those with either literary interests, or expertise in their field. If you have a flight, please let me know and I'll send you a working model of how its done!

Thanks,
The Traveling Chair
