A few years ago, we published a book called The Genius of Chinese Characters which presented 250 of the most basic characters in a one-page-per-character format, giving information about the meaning, history and importance of each character. We are finally ready to publish the next volume, of what in the end will be a 12-volume series celebrating this extraordinary writing system, featuring a total of 3,000 characters. The question today is what to do with the cover. Is this a textbook? Is it not? Should each volume be the same colour? Or should we create a spinal rainbow? Etc.
