The Library

Received today: Pathways by my friend @v3ga, on @vetro. 

A very impressive book. I might be biased, but the sheer volume of work and the documentation of Julien's creative evolution is awe-inspiring. 

Very special detail: The pages extend to dimensions of the cover and are shiny black on the side. Just beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, Marius 🙏

Have a copy of it as well and wanted to share it in here, but found it extra hard to photograph with the semi-glossy cover 😅 The black colored sides of the pages are sharp-looking (in German the technique is called a "Farbschnitt", don't know the proper English word for it).

Now @v3ga has to shed some light on who came up with the idea 😎 I also really like how the flyleaf is designed. It's a great book.

Ah, I know the technique but hadn’t heard that term, thank you!

I’ve spent enough around type designers and print obsessives to recognize a special treatment when I see one. 😎
