A reader has described this (very faint) manicule as the worst they've ever seen. It's not great, but we're sure there's worse out there. Please do share if you have an example! #Manicules #Readers #Manuscripts

☞ I have a special thing for manicules. What was my surprise yesterday, as I was exploring my new book, when I found this little manicule! I’m in love!
