The cover art is such a master stroke. See Kintsugi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi

Edit: Sorry, my mind was preoccupied with buying the book instead of elaborating.

The interactive 3d render of the book and the gold gleam of the Kintusgi sent me absolutely gushing.

Ah well, to me it kind of misses the point. Yes it's a valid method of repair, for pottery. Really the book should have been designed to be long lasting/ repairable. But then I do over think these things.
