In some ways, I am inspired by this guide book that used to be my grandpas. I thought of it because I plan on my publication being something intended to be carried around - and this guide book guides walkers through a 51 mile walk around Hull. Although the journey is different, feeling the book and taking note of the physical elements is really helpful - as the intention is the same.
The thing that I like the most about this book is the paper stock used for the front and back cover. It's a piece of card that's thicker than the paper but thin enough to still be flexible. It's also soft to the touch and feels old and used - but is still in good condition. I think a stock like this could be good for my publication because I really want to achieve that nostalgic effect.
