This book is a smythe sewn party between two blind debossed covers.
Each is collection of profound quotes neatly rolled onto pages containing detachable
bumper stickers, party balloons, drink coasters, fridge magnets, cut vinyl stickers,
temporary tattoos, 3D glasses and 3D images, posters, puzzles and games
on a newsprint section.
Other tricks include a section of horizontally split pages for an image mix and match
and a little flip book tucked into a pocket in the back cover.
This book is pushed over the top by a section of images and text printed using
photochomic inks developed at the Gas Company's basement ink lab which
change from transparent to a saturated blue when exposed to light.
See The Gas Company website for more information on custom inks or email Doug Laxdal
