A drawing of Leviathan Bookstore, a small red brick building with its name lettered over the door and windows, with a green tree next to it. Atop the structure lolls a massive skeleton of a fanciful prehistoric creature resembling a mastodon with tusk askew and a dorsal fin and tail like a whale. It leans one elbow on the tree while perusing an open book in its "hand."

Two three inch stickers, one with this bookshop's name and location (The Haunted Bookshop / Northside Iowa City) around the black and white logo depicting a reader with a book and two nosy cats. The other sticker is a drawing of the shop as seen from Gilbert Street, with our yellow stone walls, red roof, and Greek Revival era windows. The drawing is by Kevin Cannon. The rest of the picture is, of course, stacks of secondhand books.
Stickers have arrived! We love what @kevincannon.bsky.social did with the design on the right (totally captured the mood here!) and the logo on the left is by Claudia McGehee (www.claudia-mcgehee.com).
