This version of the book was designed without taking into consideration readability. The only content well-displayed are the footnotes, UV-printed on transparent paper. The very text is invisible but not missing, since the footnotes’ numbers appear in their exact position through the lines. The content is printed only in the cover, that if unfolded becomes a poster. The conceptual inversion in the hierarchy of information confuses the reader and makes the book inaccessible.
The size of the product, its mysterious content and the precious materials relate to esoteric books. The binding is japanese and a magnifier comes with the package, useful to read the extremely small font used in the poster-cover.
The text of the book was taken from The Project Gutenberg EBook: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22599/22599-h/22599-h.htm#Nt_352
