A personalized pet book — painted, not printed from photos.
A hardcover storybook for one named pet. Matte-printed, illustrated, with a colophon at the back.
A personalized pet book is not a pet photo book.
A pet photo book is what the internet sells. You upload twenty photographs from your phone. A printer auto-arranges them. A softcover booklet arrives in the mail, indistinguishable from forty other softcover booklets. The pet is reproduced on the page; the pet is not, in any meaningful sense, the subject of a book. We are not that. We are the press that illustrates the pet illustrated for this one book and binds the result in hardcover.
A personalized pet book by the press starts with a written brief, not an upload. You tell us the pet's name. You tell us three habits, one nickname, one small repeated noise, the friend at the end of the block. Juno writes the story from your brief. The book is illustrated for this one book. The book reads like a real book.
The object itself, page by page.
Thirty-two pages of original painted illustration in matte hardcover. The cover is matte-printed with the pet's name. The signatures are sewn, not glued. The book is signed at the colophon. It ships in a plain box. There is no second printing. There is no digital edition. There is no library version. There is one copy, and after it ships the file is closed.
The portrait is painted, not photo-derived. We promise a recognisable likeness, not a reproduction. The breed will be rendered honestly. The pet's markings will be his own. He will look like himself on the page, in the press's register, in the same painted hand the rest of the book is set down in.
Eighty-five dollars. One edition. One named pet.
The brief takes ten minutes. The book takes roughly two weeks. It arrives in a plain box. There is one copy and there will only ever be one copy. The press is reset after your book ships. The book on your shelf is the only one of its kind, and it always will be.
