Nine is a book about the number nine. The structural concept is that the book runs on nine grid systems: six page grids and three spread grids, one for each chapter.

Trim is 6 by 9 inches. Margins of 3p0 on all sides and gutters of 0p9 are shared across every grid, so the chapters change rhythm without the book losing its hand.
