A parchment-coloured (ie beige-ish) book cover, with an ornate gilded border (the image is from a medieval manuscript. The border features photos from pride marches and two saints with haloes in pride flag colours (trans and non-binary). Inside the border is an image of a saint with a pink glittery background behind their halo, holding a trans flag. Collaged over their eyes are the eyes from a photo of a drag queen. The title of the book is Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography, and it's edited by Alicia Spencer-Hall and Blake Gutt. It's published by Amsterdam University Press, in the series Hagiography Beyond Tradition.
