Emma Book Coaster

Description:

Gilt scrollwork winds over a royal purple cover, framing a single name — from the ornate 1890s edition illustrated by Hugh Thomson. A handmade coaster modeled after a little hardback, spine and all.

Austen began this book with a warning: "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." Two centuries of readers have been cheerfully proving her wrong — Emma, the matchmaker who cannot see her own match, may now be the best-loved heroine she wrote.

Why you'll love it:

• The Hugh Thomson edition cover — gold scrollwork on purple, with the original lettering — in full color
• Handmade from reclaimed wood and shaped like a miniature hardback, printed spine and all
• Fully sealed with a semigloss high-performance top coat — condensation and spills wipe clean
• Felt feet on the back keep your table free of scratches

Perfect for: Austen readers, tea time, or anyone building the six-novel shelf one coaster at a time.

The kind of coaster you leave out on purpose.
