You're right. It's so gorgeous. And some of the ways that he manipulates historical photographs, like you're seeing the real photograph of the real thing, but then he's really put it into his style and his idiom. It's so, so fun to see. For my part, I was a book editor before audio. So I went book editor, audio, now back to book again. I'm just feeling right at home.

And speaking of what the stories are about, how they shape the tone or invite certain kinds of, like you said, jokes, pathos, etc. Let's head into the book a little bit. Can you take us inside? How is it set up? What are readers going to find in there when they crack open the cover?
