#paperbacks

The only reason I was able to read as voraciously as I did growing up was because of mass market paperbacks.

Special hardcover editions are nice or paperbacks with deckle edges and sprayed sides, but the mass market paperback is the pillar of society.

A slightly redrawn and edited version of the Dream Library stack (version 3 if you’re counting).

Since I first drew this, my first wish has come true with the final Book of Dust novel having come out (not what I expected, but I liked it)! Which would you most want if you could pick one?

(Currently part of a half price print sale on my shop!)
