About Time Book Kishikilia Vitabu

Time Book ni kishikilia vitabu kilichoundwa kwa matumizi kwenye meza ya kazi au rafu ya vitabu. Kila kishikilia vitabu kimetengenezwa kutokana na kipande cha kioo cha kristali kilichong'arishwa kwa mkono. Wino maalum umechapishwa kwa njia ya uchapishaji wa skrini juu ya uso wake na kukaushwa kwa joto la juu. Msongamano mkubwa wa kioo cha kristali huipa kishikilia vitabu uthabiti wakati wa matumizi. Muundo huu ni wa kimsingi katika utendaji, umbo na nyenzo, na unafanana na sanamu yenye umbo la kitabu. Umbo lake linaonyesha utendaji wake kwa uwazi. Maandishi yaliyochapishwa yanatumia aina ya herufi ya Quinsay Parto. Herufi MMXIX kwenye mgongo wa kitabu ni tarakimu za Kirumi zinazowakilisha mwaka 2019.
