The subtext of the show is the tension between what is above the surface vs. what is below the surface, and the form of the book reflects this. The book, Six Feet Under: Better Living Through Death, slides upwards out of its stiff slipcase, revealing the characters underneath the large opaque solid on the slipcase. The binding is left unfinished, the structure of the spine sewing revealed in red thread. 110 pages, 6 3/8 x 9 1/2, perfect bound, 4-color throughout, 1-color vellum slipcase.
