In 2001 Bram de Does printed (by hand at his Spectatorpers) the first volume of a planned four volume series of printing experimentations using the 'Kaba ornament'; the word Kaba or kaãba is Arabic for cube and it is also the name of the holy stone square in Mecca. For various reasons Bram de Does is unable to complete the hand-printed series showing the various usages of this versital square printers-ornament. Therefore now the Dutch publishers 'De Buitenkant' have taken the initiative to make a 'offset' edition of the complete sketchbooks of Bram de Does's labour of love.
