本书内容是关于六十年代到八十年代平面设计史，我们选择不使用传统的书籍装帧形式。以考古作为书籍装帧的主题，将页面独立，标上页码，置于盒中。对纸张进行烧灼，并在纸张上撒上粉末，来模拟风尘老旧的状态。正文使用了肉眼无法清晰识别的6磅字。引导读者带上防尘手套，拿起刷子和放大镜做出“考古”的行为像考古学家一样去研究这段历史。

The book is about the history of graphic design from 1960 to 1980, and we don’t choose the traditional bookbinding. It takes the way of archaeology to get to the point as its gist of book binding. we make the pages independent, mark number on each page and then put the pages into box. we burning the edge of the book page and sprinkle white powder on the pages. in this way, we make the book look like have long history as antique book. the text word size is 6-pound, which is invisible for the human naked eye. the book binding to guide the audience to wear dust prevention gloves and take up brush and magnifier, act as archaeologist and study the history of graphic design from 1960 to 1980.
