Books come in every state here: open, closed, stacked and spine-out, along with the pens, pencils, notebooks and paper clips that share a desk with them. None of them carry a background, so a pile of books can overlap a headline or sit on a coloured banner without a pale edge giving it away. Reading lists, school worksheets, library notices and course handouts are the usual homes for a file like this.
- Hardbacks, paperbacks and open pages
- Notebooks and diaries
- Pens, pencils and highlighters
- Rulers, scissors and paper clips
