Title: Where Stories Begin

This piece explores the idea that we judge a book by more than just its cover. It's the spine we see most often. Its subtle details draw us in before we even glimpse the celebrated cover.

The spine holds promise. It leads us to the cover that entices us to take a chance on the pages within.

The spine is where stories wait. The cover is where stories begin.
