Adorned in a charming beige cloth cover, this reissue of Kate Lebo’s whimsical love letter to poetry and pie-making features a new introduction by Lebo on commonplace books and six new illustrations by Jessica Bonin. This cliche-busting book explores facts-real and imagined-about pie with a practical punch.
