Photographer Jan von Holleben and author Monte Packham have made a book for children in which master of invention, Olav, spends the day building fantastical machines for purpose and pleasure only to discover the most useful and creative machine of all. Set in the wonder-inspiring Norwegian landscape, the story is told in lively, playful verse. The photographic illustrations are themselves a kind of invention, each made with a photographic print and assembled objects that are re-photographed to create a convincing final image. The book is typeset in Andersen, a typeface designed by Thierry Fétiveau with young and dyslexic readers in mind.

This book was printed by Nina Holland on Little Steidl’s Roland 200 offset-lithographic printing press using a wet-on-dry process. One color is printed individually and allowed to dry for twenty-four hours before the next color is printed. Each sheet passes through the press eight times over a sequence of eight days.
