«An 'unusual project comprising 5 years' research and design for a multinational company that celebrated its centenary in 1996. The book depicts special events in the past 200 years of the company's history. It gives the reader an idea of the company's business philosophy and its management structure. The book is organised around various questions, with the posing of a question being more significant than its answer. The book begins in 1996 and goes back in time to 1799. Its 2136 pages are not numbered. A dutch poem and a field of tulips are printed on the edge of the pages. It has been published in English and Chinese, and is not for sale.»
