HOW TO ENTER
Enter to win by Wednesday, February 1, 12:00 AM (EST).
Win a Special Frame to Display Pages from The Bolted Book
The Hanging Magnet Frame (14 x 11 in.) by Canetti is made of two panels of clear, solid acrylic, which are held together by tiny magnet points. The page from the book can be very easily placed between the two panels and is held securely with no additional hardware. The frame has a keyhole on the back and can hang on the wall either horizontally or vertically on a nail or screw. Once mounted, you only have to remove the front panel to replace your page.
Watch our video on The Bolted Book as 240 frameable prints for your wall.
