The creature’s brooding head rises from the boards in layered leather, lightning crackling across parchment schematics. “For everyone who read Frankenstein and sided with the creature. It carries a 13-inch laptop and the whole working day — and still looks like it belongs in a library.” — Jane Grey, founder of Lettoria

Plate VII. — carried into the evening
From the catalogue

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”

The creature’s brooding head rises from the boards in layered leather, lightning crackling across parchment schematics. Shelley’s subtitle given flesh — the experiment that turned to ask its maker why. Bound with rolled top handles and hand-stitched appliqué boards — a volume made to be carried, not shelved.

I. Leather that ages like a first editionTop-grain from Tuscany, Italy — a natural grain that turns to patina the longer you carry it.
II. A reading copy for every dayPremium vegan leather — buttery-soft, waterproof, and easy to keep.
III. Ink set deep in the grainA surface made for print — the artwork sits in the leather, not on top of it.
IV. Bound to carry real weightSecure zipper closure, sturdy black handles, gold-tone furniture.

Asked & answered

Questions from the reading room.

Is the artwork printed on, or part of the leather?

Printed into it. The vegan leather surface is made for print, so the ink sets in the grain rather than sitting on top — as one reader put it, “the print sits in the grain, it doesn't sit on top of it.”

What fits inside?

A 13″ laptop, books, and a wallet — with room to spare. The volume measures 13.8″ × 10.6″ × 5.5″ (35 × 26.9 × 13.9 cm), with a black lined interior and a secure zipper closure.

How long does delivery take?

Everything ships from the United States and leaves the press within 1–2 business days. Economy takes 5–8 business days ($9.99), Standard 3–5 ($12.99), Express 2–3 ($17.99) — tracked, every time.

What if it isn't my story?

Return or exchange it within 30 days, hassle-free. Checkout is secure, and our support desk reads every letter.

How do I care for it?

As you would a good book: keep it out of the rain, wipe with a soft dry cloth, store it upright, and let the leather breathe between chapters. Still wondering about anything? Write to the Press →
