The Last Proof
When a Leeds proofreader is asked to help salvage a failing independent press, she ends up drawn into the lives of the writers, designers and printers who keep it going on thin margins and stubborn habits. As the press prepares one final title for publication, she has to decide whether preserving the book as written matters more than preserving the people around it.
