It is a simple rectangle, naked without its sleeve. Its basic and uninterrupted outside was once black but with gentle aging has begun to lighten to a charcoal grey. Some of the corners have softened and begun to curl inwards. Along the spine, delicate gold lettering proudly displays a title and author. Lightly yellowed pages, pressed down by the black binding, reach almost three and a half inches tall. Despite the soft evidence of age, the gold lettering on the spine looks unchanged, creating a disconnect between the feel of the stiffening pages and the novelty of an adventure undiscovered. 
 
 Peeking out from the top, just behind the front cover, is a tattered page marker. Its edges have a black border and the top of a tree, colored in with colored pencil, can be seen. The top right corner of the marker is torn off in bite-shaped marks... evidence of Eli's destructive kitten-hood.
