Why it's in the archive
An editorial read from the Channel archive, kept in the relaunch for its coverage of books.
The book "On Such a Full Sea" by Chang-rae Lee includes the first-ever 3D-printed slipcover into which the book fits neatly, features the letters of the title rising off the surface at an angle and is unlike anything ever seen in the world of publishing.
