Bibliophile: Diverse Spines - SIGNED

Jane and Jamise Harper co-wrote Bibliophile: Diverse Spines (and Jane illustrated it!) and it just came out in November 2021! You can order it on Bookshop.org, Target, Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at many excellent indie bookstores everywhere, for less money than this.

But if you'd like to have a signed copy of it, this is the place to order it!

Because Jane & Jamise are not in the same place, both our signatures will be on a bookplate. Please let us know in the field below if you'd like her to personalize it to someone (i.e., "For Madison!", etc.). If personalized, let us know the name of the person.

PLEASE NOTE: We're very happy to ship a book to Europe, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else, but unfortunately it costs a lot more to get it there in a reasonable time. We don't want to raise the shipping prices across the board for all orders going outside North America, so instead we've added the supplemental cost here, as a purchasing option in the dropdown menu below.
