This design is a bold and eye-catching statement that captures the essence of a book lover's sentiment. The text "The Book Was" is presented in a playful, hand-lettered font that adds a touch of whimsy and personality. The word "BETTER" is emphasized with a larger, bolder typeface, making it the focal point of the design. The overall layout is simple yet effective, with the text centered and the design framed with a subtle line that adds a touch of sophistication. This design would be a great addition to any bookish decor or as a gift for a book lover who appreciates a touch of humor and style.
