Book Pin: A Prayer for Owen Meany

Wear your book on your sleeve!

Owen Meany's stuffed armadillo and all-CAPS type for John Irving's 1989 novel.

Based on an original drawing by Jane Mount. She says: "With the Book Pins, I'm trying to capture the essence of a book in less than an inch square."

This badge is a hard enamel lapel pin with raised gold-plated outlines. It's about 1 inch tall by 0.75 inches wide, and attaches to your clothing with a black rubber clutch. It ships pinned to a small cardboard plaque in a cellophane envelope.
