the whole project took over a year, but it demonstrates how a printed book can achieve things never possible on an e reader device. after being shot down by almost every printer, belgium’s die keure agreed to make the book using a different die-cut pattern on every page. The first major title by new London-based publisher Visual Editions, Tree of Codes was created by slicing out chunks of text from Foer’s favorite novel, The Street of Crocodiles by Polish. the book was designed by sara de bondt studio, published by visual editions and features cover artwork by gra圓18. Each page of this book is perforated, die-cut, so you see through parts of it, and read phrases, words, parts of words, and punctuation marks deep into the. the text inside the book is taken from the street of crocodiles by bruno schulz and given a new interpretation through the unusual printing technique. the book appears quite average on the exterior, but once you flip it open each page is precisely die cut to have only a few words exposed.
