The design process begins with extensive research. Elements such as leather color, ribbon markers, endsheet papers and custom artwork are selected to capture the spirit of the region. An iconic image representing the area is stamped onto the back cover, making each edition a distinctive tribute to its community.

Only 500 copies of each commemorative edition are produced. Every book is individually hand-numbered creating a limited collector's edition whose proceeds help support a campaign to invite the community into the Church.

This Hermes-winning edition celebrates the opening of the Church of Scientology of Puerto Rico. Bound in radiant yellow leather inspired by the Church's architectural motif, the volume features an image of Castillo San Felipe del Morro—commonly known as El Morro—embossed on the back cover. Handmade marbled endsheets lend a classic elegance while showcasing a complementary color palette.
