I virtually threw the envelope holding the miniature ebook out. Happily, I felt a small roll of bubble wrap wedged on the backside that contained this tiny gem. Satirically, if it had been discarded, this collaboration between the Croatia Submit and Faculty of Design Zagreb, College of Structure, College of Zagreb, to handle dire international environmental considerations, would have itself grow to be part of a landfill. Furthermore, if not for the small bump of bubble wrap—a doubtful environmental materials—I’d not have even seen it. However now it’s endlessly a part of my consciousness. The scholars did an important job on this stamp challenge, and the next textual content reveals the scope of what you’re about to see.
