by Preston B. Nichols Peter MoonFor millennia the seven stars known as the Pleiades have twinkled in the night sky, inspired countless legends and dared Mankind to discover their secrets.

Incluso a ti mismo. Para siempre. Emmett Farmer, después de un largo día de trabajo en el campo, recibe una misteriosa carta que le cita a incorporarse como aprendiz de encuadernador. Es una profesión que despierta miedo y superstición en su entorno. Sin embargo, como humilde campesino sin recursos, no le queda más remedio que abandonar la granja familiar. En la casa aislada donde vive su maestra, la anciana Seredith, Emmett aprenderá a elaborar libros que, más allá de tener unos acabados muy cuidados, son tomos mágicos que conservan los recuerdos de las personas y atesoran secretos del pasado. Quien quiere olvidarse de algún episodio del pasado, puede acudir al lugar donde los encuadernadores encierran estas vivencias en volúmenes que guardan en una cripta bajo el taller: una suerte de biblioteca del olvido en la que todo permanece a la espera.

The Encyclopedia of Early Earth: A Novel
by Isabel GreenbergBefore our history began, another now forgotten civilization thrived. The people who roamed Early Earth were much like us: curious, emotional, funny, ambitious, and vulnerable. In this series of illustrated and linked tales, Isabel Greenberg chronicles the explorations of a young man as he paddles from his home in the North Pole to the South Pole. There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch. As intricate and richly imagined as the work of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg's debut will be a welcome addition to the thriving graphic novel genre.
