Shown in our best-selling Modern Minimalist style. Every print comes in six styles, unframed or framed.

Why a book print is a lovely present for Mum

Most mums who love reading have plenty of books and not nearly enough wall space that reflects them. A print of the novel she always recommends, or the one you remember her reading, is a personal gift that stays on display long after the wrapping is gone. Every Blurby design is original artwork inspired by the story.

How to choose

Think about what she reaches for. A whodunit fan will love Agatha Christie, from The Murder of Roger Ackroyd to Dumb Witness and At Bertram's Hotel. For a romantic or a classics lover, Jane Austen's Emma or Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Book club favourites like Where the Crawdads Sing, The Nightingale and The Pillars of the Earth are safe bets if you know she has read them.

Size, frame and style tips

A3 framed suits most living rooms and hallways; A4 is perfect for a bookshelf or bedside. Each book comes in six styles, and frames come in natural wood, black or white, ready to hang. If you're unsure, a wood frame with the Modern Minimalist style is a gentle, easy fit.

Making it a proper gift

Add a free gift note at checkout and it's printed on a card and packed with the poster. Three prints of her favourite books make a lovely reading-corner wall, and any three get 20% off automatically. A5 prints start at £14.99, with free tracked delivery to the UK, US, Canada, Australia and the EU.
