This is another book where I took a text file and laid it out again in InDesign, like the copy of Dumbstruck that I bootlegged. However, this time I made a code to indicate the page numbering and text flow of the source publication. This was to provide comfortable, consistent tracking to the letterspacing - one of the issues with Dumbstruck was that, in an attempt to keep the text flow and page numbering the same, some paragraphs were too tightly, or too loosely kerned. I feel this is a more elegant solution, however, it might pose problems if someone else tried to do the same as I had (taking the text from a source publication and laying it out) as the code is now part of the text. The cover was made with glossy paper, and custom-cut vinyl stickers. In time these will probably come off, but that's conceptually sympathetic to the content of the book, which is about the transience of the voice.
