This series contains a mix of samples and original design experiments.
The samples include advertisements, catalogs, and pamphlets from paper and typeface companies, a book fabric catalog, book jacket and title designs by others, and paper samples. Grushkin tested out calligraphy marks on some of the paper samples.
The original design experiments include lettering experiments and unused book jacket backgrounds. The lettering experiments include the alphabet and specific words. The unused cover backgrounds include maps and several geometric patterns.
