GOOD TO KNOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ Works with a FREE Canva account. No Pro subscription needed.

✦ Photos sit in frames — drag in your own shelf, display and event photos and they swap in seconds. Placeholder photos are included so nothing looks empty.
✦ Written for US independent new, used, children's and romance bookstores, including pop-ups and bookstore cafes.

HOW THIS WAS MADE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Captions were drafted with the help of AI tools, and templates were adapted from designs made with Canva's AI design tools (including placeholder imagery). Everything was then directed, curated and edited by Vivid Asset Studio.
