The jacket designs takes one of Mikhailov’s accompanying texts, set in **Agipo Bold Condensed** , with the Russian on the front cover and front flap and the English on the back. The jacket, spine, and title pages and essay are set in Agipo as well.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: andrewroth.com **PPP Editions.
