Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a printed monograph, this book requires no technological setup. To ensure the longevity of the hardcover binding and the interior pages, keep the book in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, which can fade the cover art and yellow the pages over time. When reading, support the spine on a flat surface or a book cradle to prevent binding stress. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to wipe dust from the dust jacket; avoid all moisture or liquid cleaners to protect the paper stock.
