The narrative is enhanced by the choice of 2x 4pp End Papers printed on 170gsm Uncoated paper. This subtle detail, often overlooked, enhances the tactile connection between reader and narrative, grounding one in Timothy's ethereal universe.

Speaking of design specifics, the 60 inside pages make for a comfortable reading experience with a 10mm spine ensuring ease of flipping.
