A anthropomorphic scale and book embrace in a playful hug against a soft turquoise ground, rendered in clean lines and bold primary colors. The scale wears a red body with cream trim and a weighing dial face, while the blue book "The Art of Truth Telling" nestles against it with stick-figure legs, creating a whimsical metaphor about balance and honesty. 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.
