Dimensions: 24.3cm x 19.6cm x 2.6cm - Shirin, Nina, and Silvia have just gotten their first jobs in publishing, at a University Press, a traditional publisher, and a trust fund kid's 'indie' publisher, respectively. And it's...great? They know they re paying their dues and the challenges they meet are just part of 'a career in books'. When they meet their elderly neighbour, Veronica Vo, and discover she's a Booker Prize winner dubbed the 'Tampax Tolstoy' by the press, each woman finds a thread of inspiration from Veronica's life to carry on her own path. A charming, wry graphic novel about trying to break into the world of books.
