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 on glossy aluminum and made to order, ready to hang with the hardware built into the back. Original artwork in a finish that holds its color and resists fading, not a quick print off a shelf.
