About Everything Set Librash

Teksti i Librit: Gjithçka është një set prej dy librash rreth kulturës tradicionale kineze. Dymbëdhjetë degët tokësore formojnë përmbajtjen kryesore, të kombinuara me stinët, termat diellorë dhe zodiakun kinez. Çdo libër ka përmasat 170 me 300 me 25 milimetra dhe është prodhuar prej druri dhe letre speciale. Lidhja ndjek formën palosëse të librave të lashtë kinezë, kështu që faqet kthehen lehtësisht dhe mund të hapen pjesërisht ose plotësisht. Prodhimi përfshin gdhendje me lazer, shtypje me lazer, palosje dhe stampim të nxehtë. Paraqitja përdor grafika të vizatuara me dorë, art teksture dhe tone gri të larta.
