Four closed books with cream-colored pages and golden-brown spines stand upright against a dark charcoal background, arranged in a casual, slightly overlapping composition. The illustrative style uses bold outlines and a limited palette to convey the tactile quality of the books, evoking a quiet appreciation for reading and literature. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
