I remember watching it on YouTube. Really liked the book design. How expensive/difficult is it to have each page in different colour? Tell me more about the page quality. Also it looked like "product sans" at first glance, if yes then how is it licensed? Why didn't you choose flat binding?

Anyway congratulations on the book release. It's really a beautiful creation and worthy of being an art piece.

Thank you so much! Love your questions.

> How expensive/difficult is it to have each page in different colour? The production was very specific to our design needs. For this edition, each book cost me more than $65 to produce.

> it looked like "product sans" at first glance We have licensed all our fonts which are: ABC White, Affairs and IBM Plex Mono.

> Tell me more about the page quality The paper is Fedrigoni Arena Rough Extra White

> Why didn't you choose flat binding? This question is great! We wanted to have that characteristic curve of opened books. It was very much a thoughtful decision.
