believe me to be

A while ago I came across this great mystery short story set in Ancient Egypt by Elizabeth Peters, in which the priest and scholar Amhotep investigates a crime accompanied by his friend Wadjsen, a scribe.

(Amhotep and Wadjsen of course being entirely original characters, any resemblance to any other detective/writer duos entirely coincidental.)

I thought it would be fun to create a small book with the story in!

"What’s the point of supporting gay rights but nobody else’s rights. You know? Or - workers’ rights but not Women’s rights - it’s - I don’t know - illogical."

"There’s a lodge banner down in the welfare. We bring it out for special occasions. It’s a hundred years old. I’ll show it to you one day. It’s a symbol like this -

Two hands.

A lovely Teen Wolf story in its A6 laced-on board binding form.

🐾 The whole design came together when I decided to use wolf tracks for scene dividers, and found a nice pointillist image. Pointillism feels like a great visual synonym for “quiet”, so I went for dots and half-tones.

🐾 The leather I used for cover and endbands is called pasta española, Spanish paste, which is a special way of curing/dyeing the leather. The paper on the cover is handmade recycled paper.

🐾 The endpaper was marbled by me. This spindly trembly effect was a happy accident, and I feel it fits the vibe I was going for perfectly.

"When you’re in a fight as bitter and as important as this one, against an enemy, so much bigger, so much stronger than you - well. To find out that you have a friend you never knew existed - It’s the best thing in the world."
