A gift for the person whose phone is mostly the dog.
A hardcover storybook about the dog at the centre of their life. A hardcover, matte-printed, with a colophon at the back.
A gift for a dog lover should be about their actual dog.
They have the mug, the keychain, the candle, the t-shirt with the small silhouette, the sock with the breed on it. They have eight Christmas ornaments. The thing they do not have, that nobody has thought to make for them, is a hardcover book about the actual dog — named, painted, bound, on the shelf. We are the press that makes that book.
You know the dog's name. You know the noise the dog makes when the kettle whistles. You know what the dog does when your friend cries on the floor. You know which sock the dog has stolen and where the dog hides it. These are the details the book is built out of. You give us four; Juno writes the rest; the book is illustrated for this one book.
The dog is on the cover, with their name in foil.
The cover is matte-printed with the dog's name. The portrait is painted, not photo-derived. The book is hardcover, in a plain box. We do not print a digital edition. We do not offer a duplicate for their parents. Edition of one applies whether the reader is human or canine. There is one book. It is their book.
The page they open first will be the page where the dog does the specific habit nobody outside the household knows about. That is the page that does the work. That is the page they will tell you about three weeks after the gift arrives, when they call you on a Tuesday to say it again.
Eighty-five dollars. One edition. One named dog.
The book ships in roughly two weeks in a plain box. You decide whether you wrap it or whether you leave it in the plain box. They open it. They make the noise. They text you the photograph of the cover. The dog watches all of this from the rug, unaware that the rug is in the book.
