One of an edition of 6.
“Each of the edition of six was built using 303 pieces of material: 55 pieces of binder board and 38 pieces of Italian bookcloth lasercut at Techshop San Jose, 180 pieces of handcut paper,  6 cherrywood triangles, 6 bridge pins made by Petros Guitar Shop, 6 pieces of satin ribbon, and 12 magnets. The maps of cities where Calvino lived are vintage Baedeker reproductions. Other papers used include soft white Mohawk Superfine, thin Tomoe River, and decorative papers from Flax, Hollanders, Talas, and more.
The content of the six books is based on three sets of sixes related to Calvino’s life: the six essay topics for Harvard, six of the cities in which he lived over the course of his life, and six of his book titles. Each of the six books uses one topic from each category.”--colophon.
