These stories simmer with desire—not just for carnal relief, although there’s a lot of it for sure, but also for meaning, permanence, reciprocity, and all the deliverables of a satisfying relationship. The author has a keen eye for detail—again, both physical and psychological, the hallmarks of a mature and confident sensibility at work. A fine addition to the literature of a certain age, neither too young nor too old.

May Tobias-Papa’s short story collection Found: Stories showcases her incredible talent for storytelling and character delineation. We enter her characters’ universe with ease, letting her finely nuanced writing carry us along, enjoying the ride intuitively—this is the first level of reading pleasure, the emotional satisfaction that a darn good yarn gives. And while that is a good enough reason to read this book, it is far more generous to the serious, careful reader who slows down for a second reading, and a third, to pay closer attention to the telling details—precise, illuminating—that make a setting spring to life, or to her word choices, the inevitable word that cannot be replaced by any other. It is the subsequent readings that make you forget that you are reading, but instead living inside her characters’ minds, feeling their tensions, sensing their fears, and sharing their wonderment. Found: Stories gives you several lives.

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.
You can read our shipping policy here.
What are your shipping options?
For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.
No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.
For non US addresses, we ship via the Express option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
What is your return policy?

- Sale items and gift cards are final sale.
- We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur.
- If you wish to cancel your online order for any reason, you will receive store credit, not a refund.

Can you help me find books not offered in your shop?
