I want a Knicker Drawer book to be a book you discover, as in a story;
the small hand-sized leather-bound book you might come upon while you
are rummaging in an attic or a junk shop; you never knew it was there,
but here it is, tucked away, wrapped in cloth, stowed safely,
intentionally, maybe at the bottom of a crate, or in a box, or strangely
placed behind a splintered wooden panel. You find the book, feel the
soft cover, see that it is chained and sealed, and wonder how to open
it. Take a moment to think on that. Maybe it would be better if the book
stays sealed. Who knows what you might discover inside.
