The choice of stock was heavily influenced by the colouring of the pages due to the age of the copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra I borrowed from the library, which was 55 years old. By finding a stock that had a similar colour and texture I hope to recreate an aged look.
On The Suffering of the World
The copy of Schopenhauer's On The Suffering of the World had I bought had a front cover on which every single word was debossed into the page, this gave the text an element of power and a sense of credibility that wasn't present in the text on the covers of any of the other books I read for this project. For this reason I want to try and create a similar effect for the text on the cover of my book.
Glas
Whilst Jacques Derrida's Glas wasn't a book I read, and I have no idea how relevant or otherwise it is to my project, it should be pointed out that the inconsistent and somewhat obscure layout of text in my publication is similar to that in Glas, which was something I've been made aware of recently.
