A design conscious of tradition pays its respects to the era of author-photographer I. K. Inha (1865-1930) in a subdued but stylish way. As a book this is a special object of art. Marbling matched in shade with calico makes each book unique. If only the uncompromising high quality of binding had extended to the cover belt.

True classics deserve a proper setting. The pipe cut in cover calico and its smoke saying “Maigret”: at the same time simple, clear and concentrated. Typesetting in both front and back cover is elegant, typography adds to the reading pleasure throughout.
