An object
allowed to age.
Small enough for your pocket. Good enough to keep. Made for stamps, notes and coffee stains – a booklet that looks better after a year than on day one.
A6 format
About 105 × 148 mm – compact, passport-sized, fits any jacket pocket.
Thread binding
Visible binding and the character of a real book. The pass opens flat so it can be stamped.
Numbering
From 001 to 1000, assigned by hand. After that the First Edition is not reprinted – the next one carries a different colour.
Bilingual
German and English on every page. One edition for locals and guests alike.
44 pages
Arrival, knowledge section, around twenty café pages and the register – no filler.
Burgundy, gold, paper.
Every edition gets its own deep colour – Central Switzerland wears burgundy. Gold stays the accent, the paper the quiet ground. Later editions stay distinguishable and still belong together.

What makes the difference.
The decisions you only notice in your hand: how the cover feels, how the booklet lies open, how a stamp dries on the page.
Secure yourself
a low number.
One thousand copies, numbered by hand from 001 to 1000. Numbers are assigned in the order orders come in. Whoever is on the list hears first when sales open in November.
