A navy blue open book with cream pages sits centered against a soft pink background, rendered in a clean, minimalist illustration style. Bold white lettering reading "the book was better" appears below the book in a modern, friendly typeface, capturing the lighthearted sentiment of preferring a story in its original written form. For a reader's bedroom, study, or any space celebrating literary love. Printed to order directly onto lightweight aluminum with a high-gloss finish that makes color and detail pop and resists fading over time. A wood backing floats it about three-quarters of an inch off the wall and holds the wire or sawtooth hanger. Available from mini to large, it is original art with a modern, durable edge, not a quick print off a shelf.
