“This is the last of the printed line, and I wanted you to hear it from me.”

I started Lettoria because I could never leave a good book behind, so I printed book art on things you carry. Now I am retiring the printed line to make a new one, and for that I need the shelf empty. Nothing on it will be printed again, and no Black Friday after this one will include it. What is left is up to 75% off until it runs out. If your book is on that shelf, take it home. If not, let it go.
