Letter-pressed work has a way—by it very tactility—of making the reader aware of the process of it's production.
In this limited edition book, Jacque Lynn pulls the reader further into the story by "breaking the third wall" and having the main character in the book interact with the reader—trying to escape the pages... Flipping the pages of the book causes an interaction between reader and character furthering the story line.
