	The cover is based on my [[User:Joca/raw-audio-bitmap\|experiments on turning RAW audio into bitmap images]]. As an input I chose pure tones that I generated in Audacity. This particular image is the result of a blockwave of 4hz fading out, while a saw tooth wave of 4hz is fading in. The result of my pipeline using Audacity and Imagemagick gives images in black and white. I used GIMP to add the blue as the background color.

	As I had never worked with the Espresso Book Machine before, I wanted to try it out within this project. The Espresso Book Machine is a combination of a printer and a book binding machine, which is able to print books on demand in print runs as low as one. To achieve its speed and to keep the printing affordable, a lot of aspects are standardized. For example, there is one kind of paper to print on, and the size of the book has to be between 114mmx127mm and 200mmx266mm.
