The brief for the book came in a the form of a long list of sales blurbs, and the typographic solution was inspired by 1960's British phone books featuring ads on any possible real estate of the book - the front cover, spine, back cover, and paper edges.
The entire book was printed with a single ink - Process Black, and all pages are composed entirely out of typography and cartography. Over 50 different typefaces were used in this book, including a handful of custom made fonts.
