The book is printed in black and orange and illustrated by Jesper Waldersten. The binding of the book, a so called ”naked spine” does not only give a visual reference to the theme of the book, but has also an important practical reson, since it makes the book lie flat on a surface without closing, something that is very practical for the many with spinal cord injuries without full mobility in both hands.
