It is completely Japanese screenprinted on a Riso duplicator machine in Bright Red ink. It was then handsewn using burgundy waxed Irish linen thread. Each paperback is complete with an included matching prayer card and prayer card holder.
If you are unfamiliar with risographs, please read before purchasing:
Risographs consist of a layer of ink screenprinted on top of the page, therefore they are prone to smudging and being affected by improper handling. Please be aware of this as you are handling the book. They also produce slight variances due to being put through a fast screenprinting machine that should not be a problem in regards to usability. The variance is also thought to be ideal for aesthetic purposes. The cover consists of a smoother grained paper, which makes the ink on top of it slightly more prone to smudging than the book’s internal contents.
