Occasionally I receive copies of Modern Mending with imperfect covers (not pictured). The books are new and in otherwise mint condition, but the covers have a few odd marks and other quirks.

Rather than return them, only to have them destroyed, I make them available here at a discounted price.

And occasionally I botch my author signature (whoops!) and have to apply some visible mending. Those books go in the bargain bin, too.

Visit the main Modern Mending book page for book details.

Slow mode

This shop is in slow mode so I can enjoy a better work-life integration as a shop owner and mum of two tiny tots. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

I'm currently dispatching orders once a week; place your order by 5pm Thursday Melbourne time (AEST) for dispatch the next day (Friday).

Australia Post has been experiencing significant delays. If you select Express Post at checkout, it will speed up Australia Post's delivery timeframe but won't speed up my process.

After your order has been packed, you will receive an email notification with your Australia Post tracking number, which you can use to check on the delivery status of your order.

Local delivery

Customers in Northcote, Thornbury and nearby suburbs (subject to capacity) can select local delivery at checkout. Local delivery is extra-slow and coincides with my pram-walking/kid-wrangling schedule, up to one week after purchase. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
