Mary Ann Evans, better known by her pen name, George Eliot, became the talk of England in 1859 with the publication of her first novel, Adam Bede. Eliot, a favorite writer of Queen Victoria, embodied the realities of rural society in the Victorian era in her novels, as exemplified in her masterpiece, Middlemarch. We have taken a collection of Eliot’s most beloved works and wrapped them in jackets with one-of-a-kind artwork by the creative team at Obvious State.
“Mary Anne Evans smuggled her stories into the public sphere under the pseudonym “George Eliot.” I wanted to illustrate that fact, the woman behind the male pen name, which parallels a tension in her stories between passionate, independent characters and the rigid Victorian society in which they lived.” – Evan Robertson, Obvious State
The books in the set are clothbound hardcover volumes published by Everyman’s Library, complete with silk reading ribbons, acid-free, natural cream-colored paper, and European-style half-round spines.
Juniper Books' custom collection includes artwork you won't find with these books anywhere else. The Obvious State sets are a brilliant and unexpected gift for literary lovers.

"The books on my Article bookshelf are a bit jealous this morning as there are some new editions in town. Allow me to introduce you to the absolutely stunning @juniperbooks George Eliot collection. These are a gift from my three daughters, who knocked the idea of a bookish Christmas out of the park. Sophie stumbled upon @juniperbooks a few weeks ago via her art world job and asked me if I'd ever heard of them. Fast forward to falling down the rabbit hole of their instagram, their website and their passion for turning the printed word into a work of art. If you've never heard of them I dare you to not drool over their platforms and, like me, tell everyone who will listen that if they ever need a gift for you, look no further than @juniperbooks"@lonestarwords
