Jaak Valge – PUNASED I
(the heading means reds or communist in Estonian)
(the heading means reds or communist in Estonian)
This is a history book about the time and people who dreamed about a world revolution in the 1920–30s. The main focus of the book is on the leading (but underground) communist and marxist intellectuals and their private correspondence. The metallic look of the cover fabric brings to mind guns and war. Under the metal “skin” you will find red pages with photographs of the communist activists of that time. The book’s text is printed in red, inspired by the author’s manuscript (the communist regime on our planet was probably the bloodiest of all times). The book is printed on three different papers; Holmen Book white for text printed only in one color (red, of course); PopSet poppy for grayscale images for archive images; and Glossy paper for 4colour plates – reproductions of paintings and old propaganda posters. The cover is EuroBuckram gunmetal. The cover text is silkscreen printed with dark red.
