Bibliophile: Diverse Spines - SIGNED

Jane and Jamise Harper co-wrote Bibliophile: Diverse Spines (and Jane illustrated it!) and it just came out in November 2021! You can order it on Bookshop.org, Target, Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at many excellent indie bookstores everywhere, for less money than this.

But if you'd like to have a signed copy of it, this is the place to order it!

Because Jane & Jamise are not in the same place, both our signatures will be on a bookplate. Please let us know in the field below whether Jane should add a personalized inscription to someone (i.e., "For Madison, with all the best", etc.). If inscribed, let us know the name of the person.

PLEASE NOTE: We're very happy to ship a book to Europe, Asia, Australia, or anywhere else, but unfortunately it costs a lot more to get it there in a reasonable time. We don't want to raise the shipping prices across the board for all orders going outside North America, so instead we've added the supplemental cost here, as a purchasing option in the dropdown menu below.
