This is an 8.5" x 11" archival print of the original Endpaper.
It shows a dilapidated teddy bear and the words, "It was worth it."

This is the most popular Endpaper by far, celebrating that some things are just worth doing, no matter what. It makes a great gift for a hard-won graduation, retirement, anniversary, or just some friendly encouragement. Want to add a personal note? Look for this design in the Greeting Cards section! Custom matting and framing starts at $10 in the Matting/Framing section.

Each Endpaper represents the last page of a story, drawn and typed on blank pages from the backs of old books.

My father still has the teddy bear he loved as a little boy. For a bear, to be loved is not to be kept in pristine condition or tucked away for special occasions--quite the opposite! The worn seams, smushed plush and faded fabric tell the story of this bear's life, which continues now as he sits in a place of honor on a shelf next to the original "Worth It" Endpaper.
