About Time Book Ceann-leabhair

'S e ceann-leabhair a th' ann an Time Book a chaidh a dhealbhadh airson a chleachdadh air deasg no air sgeilp leabhraichean. Tha gach ceann-leabhair air a dhèanamh de bhloca glainne criostail air a lìomhadh le làimh. Tha inc shònraichte air a clò-bhualadh le sgrìon air an uachdar agus air a leaghadh aig teòthachd àrd. Tha dùmhlachd àrd na glainne criostail a' toirt seasmhachd don cheann-leabhair nuair a thathar ga chleachdadh. Tha an dealbhadh mion-mheudaichte a thaobh gnìomh, cruth agus stuth, agus tha e coltach ri ìomhaigh shnaighte ann an cumadh leabhair. Tha an cruth a' taisbeanadh a' ghnìomh gu soilleir. Tha an teacsa clò-bhuailte a' cleachdadh a' chruth-clò Quinsay Parto. 'S e na litrichean MMXIX air an druim na h-àireamhan Ròmanach airson 2019.
