The Naked Dame is a book by the promising Jason Bovberg. It's a noirish slice of cool that fans of hard-boiled detective novels will thoroughly enjoy. Sure it's an e-book available here, but it started out life as a book bound with the SimpleBind.
Check out the blog as well. The binder even gets a favorable mention.
