Ain't No Favor: A Reading Service
Ain't No Favor: A Reading Service
~ COMING SOON ~
In collaboration with Time Being Books, artist Sean Ripple is offering personal reading services for select titles from the shop’s collection for a small additional fee.
Like a personalized audiobook reading that can be scheduled for your time lounging by the pool or doing chores or drifting off to sleep. Of course, your use of the service is not limited to these examples... these are merely suggestions.
Being read to is a lost luxury for many of us. Reclaim this indulgence today for a reasonable fee based on MIT's living wage calculator. The service can be purchased in 15 minute increments ($11), or if you'd like, you can purchase a full reading for an agreed upon rate.
