In the house! is the printed result of handset heritage type and a hand-carved linocut block, printed as two formes with a 1940s Adana Tabletop Press and oil-based relief ink.

In the house! is a companion bookplate to Sally’s bookplate Mouse! and features little ‘Betty’, Sally’s own domestic house mouse.
