This book tells the stories of snails. The cover design, designed by a snail itself, is quiet and unassuming. A special printing technique is used so that the snail’s trail glints under the light, asking of the reader’s patient appreciation. The inner pages of the book are hand painted and describe the philosophy of snails and theory of man. The design therefore need not be extravagant, but retains a certain elegance.
The book has been published the Czech Republic by Verzone.
