A copy of Guevara's Guerilla Warfare, printed with/for Luke. We made the cover on the photocopier, make-do style. The text refers to Guevara's system of annotating - a pity the PDF I had wasn't available in colour. The text block was bound with cold glue, after trimming to the spine edge. The equations on the text block are ones I typically write down on the text block so that I don't have to do them at the guillotine, which is always busy and therefore stressful and easy to make a mistake.

The method I follow goes something like this:

1. First cut: (page height - book height) / 2 + book height
2. Second cut: book height
3. Third cut: book width
