Book design for the novel Tuhatkaunokin tuho by Jaakko Yli-Juonikas.
Covering themes such as the end of the world and the end of literature itself, the book combines and shuffles different texts and documents into an A4-sized block. The book contains 540 pages and is set in 34 different typefaces.
As an object the book is thread-bound, but it has no covers, exposing the pages to dirt and wear. The cover image is added as a sticker on the cover page.
