A few words about the publication
When you have in your hands is a book, it is simply impossible not to say about her performance. The quality of this product at the highest level. The book is heavy (over a kilo), large, it’s very nice to hold in hands. It is in the hands, as it is really very massive. Externally cover is simply gorgeous but even nicer is it to the touch.
