hors texte is french for “outside of the text,” and the term usually refers to plates without printing on the reverse sides. The plates may be tipped in to paper of a different stock from that of the text.
CJ grew up admiring books. His family owned a small bookstore throughout his early childhood, and he would spend weekends flipping through book after book, always sure to read the ones that looked the most interesting. Not much has changed since then, except now some of those interesting books he picks off the shelf were designed by his company!
