The family book beneath, the child’s book on top. Same house, two objects.

A public family, as a book

The hardcover

A book that arrives.

Linen cloth, cream paper, printed close to the people who will hold it — the US, Europe, Britain, Brazil, Australia. A christening gift should not wait on a boat.

Cream linen, a forest-green oak, the weave you can feel.

The two books

Two cloth hardcovers, printed close to the door that will hold them. You pay the price on the card. If you are the guardian of the tree, a quarter off.

Your origin

Your origin

A square hardcover for a newborn, a christening, a first birthday. The child’s name on the cloth. The day they arrived, what the name has meant, how old the parents were, two families meeting, a map, a letter. Read aloud in a few minutes.

The family book

The family book

A landscape hardcover of the whole house: a plate for each generation, a page for anyone with a story, the papers kept with them, and who wrote the book. For a reunion, a funeral, a reprint when the tree grows.
