A stack of three books is neatly arranged, with the top book covered in a plain gray hardcover. Below it is a bright red hardcover book titled 'Building a StoryBrand', followed by a white grid-patterned hardcover labeled 'Confidant Planner / Hardcover'. A pair of glasses with round lenses rests on top of the stack, adding a scholarly touch.

Three leather-bound books are standing upright on a wooden shelf. The spines of the books showcase intricate gold detailing and the titles 'Roscoe,' 'Evidence Of Things Unseen,' and 'Moon Tiger' are visible. Two pinecones are placed next to the books, adding a rustic charm. Soft lighting from above creates a warm and cozy ambiance.

Three items, a closed book titled 'An American In Provence' by Jamie Beck at the bottom, a peach-colored closed book beneath it, and a spiral-bound notepad with a green pen on top are arranged in a neat stack on a light wooden surface.
