By The Book was a standalone Jenny Everywhere comic story written by Grant and illustrated by Withiel S. Black.
It was notable, among other things, for its unique depiction of Shifting: in this story, Jenny leaves or enters scene by lifting the actual comic panels and emerging from behind them as though opening a cat-flap, a highly metafictionally-loaded visual (although Jenny does not otherwise acknowledge being inside a comic book).
Contents
Plot
When a monkey finds a dying missionary in a ruined temple in the middle of a Guatemalan jungle, it alerts Jenny Everywhere, who takes it upon herself to, if not save the man, then at least give him a primer on how to save himself. As the two begin to talk, however, the ideological differences between their worldviews become hard to ignore.

Jenny
- Jenny Everywhere appears in an incarnation who can pass for one of the native inhabitants of Guantemala, although she notes that she isn't actually Guatemalan. She has fairly long hair, wears a black vest and full-length trousers, and carries a small backpack.
Universes
- This story takes place all in one universe.
Other
