This is a book meticulously made, loving the materials. Typography, colour scheme and unique serigraphy concept cover sing their praise towards both the book form and the knowledge within. Secondary blue colour in the typeset is a brave choice in this genre, and it succeeds. Calm and confident layout encases a wide variety of illustration without a question.
