The artist was asked by Salon Verlag to select a book that she considered particularly important and to design a new cover for it and publish it under a new name as a "reprint". She chose the children's book "Mike and the Modelmakers" by M. Sasek from 1970.

Originally, the multiple included a lead cement mixer in Matchbox format. This is missing
