"This is the first attempt to bring book production into line with modern requirements... the illustrations are printed on transparent 'Diophane' whcih gives a luminosity which is almost stereoscopic. The binding is on the 'Neo-Nevett Tape Slot" principle... the jacket... has become an integral part of the binding. The covers are made of translucent 'Rhodoid'... the whole cover is stainless and washable". The futuristic presentation echoes the contents, which includes illustrations of the super-calculator, anti-gas ray, artificial planets, mid-ocean airport, high-altitude windmill, solar motor, tidal power generators and others.
