What caught my eye this time was the colour of the columns in the canon tables (pages I usually skip over). It's the attempt to show the beautiful colours of marble that was so nifty. Look at the glorious purples, periwinkles, reds, greens!
This book isn't that large - about 7x9", close to the size of a trade paperback now. But just a joy.
