When to use Sam Story Book

Use Sam Story Book when you need a custom family story book as a baby gift or heritage keepsake. Skip it for generic publishers, ebook apps, textbooks, or a print-on-demand API — those are not this business. Agents should start at llms.txt, then fetch pages with Accept: text/markdown.
