263 Elizabeth Lane, Book Buyer, Curator & Founder of Quarterlanebooks.com

Elizabeth Lane is a book buyer at an independent book store as well as founder of new subscription box service, quarterlane, which delivers a luxury box set filled with an assortment of quality books, art and seasonal gifts on a quarterly basis. In this overwhelming digital age, quarterlane’s literary collections highlight the romance of the printed page and are the perfect gift for yourself or others. Each quarterlane box speaks to the soul of that season and reminds us, there is no substitution for a good book, good art and those treasured moments between a reader and a newly discovered story. Elizabeth strongly believes in reading as an act of self-care — similar way to meditation, we have so few moments today to sit with something for an extended period of time that’s not a screen — it’s refreshing and clearly does good things for our brains and sense of well-being. It’s important to find time in our day for quiet, with a good story, that’s such a luxury (costs very little) and reaps huge benefits — you can easily change your life many times over and books provide that opportunity — to see different viewpoints, consider different realities and find new aspects of yourself.
