  • Divide the amount of pages by 10 (or by 20)
    120 pages will become 12 pages, 265 pages will become 26 pages and so on... (or 13 pages if divided by 20)

  • Pick up one or several colors in relation to the content of the book, for example, black pages for "Le Parfum de la Dame en Noir" by Gaston Leroux.

  • Use material that can be put on the floor like carpet or fabric, soft material which can be used for furniture or domestic needs.

  • Attach the pages together on the left side - it should be possible to open the pages and turn them like a real book.

  • Place the color book on the floor.
    Open it - There are so many ways to enter a book, you can also seat and sleep and dream on it.|
