Dummies

Two dummies divided in either 4 or 8 stripes in A6 and A5 format;

chosen type of book binding: wired binding, which will allows to place blocks directly on book
preferred format and division: A6 with four stripes; the photos work best in an extreme scale therefore a 'pocket guide' format is preferred rather than a big publication which would not allow its user to take the book with him

Research: book
