We have made ever effort to make this the best book possible. Our paper is opaque with minimal show-through; it will not discover or become brittle with age. Pages are sewn in signatures, in the method traditionally used for the best books, and will not drop out, as often happens with paperbacks held together with glue. Books open flat for easy reference. The building will not crack or split. This is a permanent book.

It’s parents who grew up on the old one who’ll be struck by how this show, which once taught them to find wonder amid the grime, now promises kids that they can uncover dirt in a sanitary, upscaled paradise. As Mucko Polo sings: “You have to go find it now/It won’t come to you!”
