"The Tell-Tale Heart" Small Leather Handbag
The old man’s pale eye and the floorboards that would not stay quiet, set into the grain like evidence. “I’d hand this to anyone who likes their classics with a racing pulse. It’s small enough for every day, and still carries a phone, a wallet and a paperback — from morning errands to an evening out.” — Jane Grey, founder of Lettoria

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.
What's the difference between the two bindings?
Premium vegan leather is the everyday reading copy — buttery-soft, waterproof, easy to keep, and the better canvas for the artwork. Top-grain leather from Tuscany is the collector's binding — natural grain that turns to patina the longer you carry it.
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 →
