About "LIVE - 2015 Calendar Book"

Words for the minds to think, feel out subtly aloud;
Embossment for the letter to press down the traces of day;
Hand dyed silver paper stripes binding to make 12 months as a whole.

Imperfect is the impeccable element of life,
Sunny or rainy, live up to each day everyday and live well.
