To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee, Grand Central Publishing, First mass market edition 1982, Hardcover. Gently used. See photos (first end paper has names written inside).
As for the one of a kind paintings themselves, Mandy Howard begins with clamping the book between two pieces of wood, followed by mapping out Scout and Atticus Finch reading on their front porch, inspired by the 1962 film adaptation.
Using watercolor paints and spraying each painting with matte varnish, the completed artwork is protected from dust. Due to the pressure from the clamps, the paint does not seep past the edge of the page.
While the pages can still be turned, this is recommended to be purchased as a decorative addition to your personal library, rather than to be read. This is due to the fact that the oils on our hands can damage the painting over time.
