This Book is Backwards
2-up stapled zine
This zine replicates how the world feels to be left-handed.
Functioning backwards, “This Book is Backwards” reads back
to front, with the spine on the right hand side, as well as backwards written text and numbers which mirror how it feels to live in a world designed for the right-handed. It features stories of a selection
of objects that are typically hard for a leftie to use, alongside ink smudges in order to fully communicate the struggles of being
left-handed.
