I love the idea of the sun revealing a visual reward as time goes by, although nothings showing on my copies so far… I have a suggestion for the second edition that will help the use experience of the book rise to the level of the design and its content.
It has to do with the overall size and weight of the book. It’s pretty uncomfortable to read in bed or to hold open even on the table. Was it ever considered to break up the sections into separate thinner books that will all fit into the slip cover? This would make it much more physically comfortable and physiologically approachable and also easier to take on trips. It would also open the great possibility of lending different sections of the book to different people and therefore become even more usable.
Great design communicates with meaning and emotion through an appropriate usage experience.
