Venn’s Notebook
Black paper. Pocket-sized. Smaller than her palm. The corners soft from years of being carried, and the bottom edge stained brown where the tea reached it.
Evelyn Venn kept one thing outside the system. This is a replica of it: every entry the novel describes, hand-lettered page by page, with the pages around them filled in by the author with care. Shopping lists. Names. Questions she did not want a system to finish for her.
- Hand-lettered, not typeset
- Tea stain on the bottom edge, exactly where the story puts it
- Sealed with an estate band: do not open until you have finished the book
- Numbered, with an estate disposition card
