FAQ
-
Instead of a traditional guest book, we’re creating a custom piece of artwork for Joyce, a bookshelf made entirely of book spines.
Each spine will feature a book title submitted by a guest.
When complete, it will look like a beautiful “Collector’s Edition” or “bookshelf portrait” that captures Joyce’s story through the eyes of the people who know and love her.
