Promising review: "I'm a writer and editor, so I love wearing these, especially when I have meetings to remind people who the boss is! They're a good size-- large enough to be seen and for people to know what they are, not large enough to be weird and garish. I also like that they are open and closed quotes, so you have to pay attention to which ear you're putting them in-- and your head acts as the quotation." —Du

Promising review: "A great gift for unstuffy librarians with a streak of nostalgia. Or anyone who loves libraries, for that matter, though today's children may never have seen a date-due card. Quite useful as a visual aid for history lesson beginning 'Back in the day....'. Bonus: Also function as socks!" —SC in SC

Promising review: "I had these on my 2018 Christmas wish list -- along with a Poe-themed mug -- and I did not receive either item (I got lots of other great stuff). So, after visiting Edgar Allan Poe's grave in Baltimore on my birthday in early March, in a renewed fit of fangirl for the inimitable EAP, I came home and ordered both the socks and the mug. I'm here to tell you that the socks completely exceeded my expectations. I thought they'd be thin; they're thick (although not too thick). I thought they'd be on the small size for my size-9 foot; they're generously sized. These are socks made for lounging and lazing. I wish I'd gotten them before spring arrived because I fear I won't get much use out of them until cool weather comes back around, but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy them every moment I can. They're SO comfortable. I love these so much that I plan to buy more Out Of Print items like these socks, as gifts." —Dreamer

Promising review: "I love these bags. I replace mine about once a year. I usually buy three. I use them for everything. Groceries, taking food and drinks for lunch, each bag holds about one load of laundry on laundry day, gym bag. They are super cute. I used one for a diaper bag. I've been using the bags for about 12 years. I love them." —Melissa Hood
