Meet Mabel

Meet Mabel, Our Chief Book Inspector

Every great bookshop needs a literary companion, and at Ephemerara, that's Mabel - our elegant whippet with impeccable taste in vintage literature and maps.

About Mabel

Mabel is a three year old whippet who has appointed herself the official quality control manager of Ephemerara. With her keen eye for detail and gentle nature, she oversees the careful selection and handling of every book, map, and printed treasure that passes through our hands.

Her Role at Ephemerara

When she's not out on the Isle of Wight's stunning beaches, exploring its beautiful countryside, or napping in a sunbeam (her favourite pastime), Mabel can be found: - Supervising the unpacking of new acquisitions - Testing the comfort level of reading nooks - Ensuring all items meet her high standards of sniff-ability - Providing moral support during long cataloguing sessions - Occasionally photobombing product photography

Mabel's Personality

How to describe Mabel's personality? She is playful, dignified, curious, gentle, and very fast!  She is the perfect companion and business partner.
