Guidebook to Infinity Extra Edition

An item that appeared in every Player's inventory at the end of the Opening Ceremonies of Infinite Aincrad, the Guidebook to Infinity has two editions. This article details the Extra Edition, which is the edition only a select few Players were given and is the edition that is unable to be bought in any store.

Covers
The GtIE is a thick book that is around 15 cm (6") in width and 23 cm (9") in height. Its cover is composed of a thin wooden board covered in a dark blue fabric that goes over both the front and back covers as well as the spine of the book. On the front cover of the book, the words “Guidebook to Infinity” are printed in swirly, calligraphic letters in a shimmery, silver-colored ink. The same words in the same style and same ink are printed lengthwise on the spine of the book. The back cover of the book has an infinity symbol on each edge and an outline of Aincrad in the center with a 12-pointed, spiked star in the center of the outline drawn in the same shimmery, silver-colored ink as the words on the front cover and spine. The spine of the book is adorned with six chevrons - three at the top pointing up and three at the bottom pointing down - drawn in an ink the color of a robin’s eggs.

Section Title Pages
The section title pages of the Guidebook to Infinity Extra Edition are identical to that of the Standard Edition. They consist of thick, ivory-colored paper with yellow, gold-colored foil wrapping around the edges. These pages are single-sided with words only on the front side of the page. The words on these pages are written in a bright blue ink that is just dark enough to be read clearly. The words of the section title pages seem to be almost handwritten, but they are just barely too neat and precise to be mistaken for handwriting.

Content Pages
The content pages of the Guidebook to Infinity Extra Edition are identical to that of the Standard Edition. They consist of thick, ivory-colored paper with gray, silver-colored foil wrapping around the edges. These pages are double-sided with words printed on both the front and the back sides of the pages. The words on the pages are written in a blue ink that is dark enough to be read clearly on the ivory of the pages, but is light enough to still be recognizably blue. The words of the content pages seem to be printed out. The words are very neat, precise, and easy to read.

The Notice Page
The Notice Page of the Guidebook to Infinity Extra Edition is not present in the Standard Edition. It consists of thick, ivory-colored paper with copper-colored foil wrapping around the edge. The words that are the content of the entire Notice Page are printed on the front of the page in large letters that look elegant and almost handwritten at the same time. The words are only known to not be handwritten because of the precision and neatness of the letters. The words on this page are written in a shimmery, brown, bronze-colored ink.

The Bronze Pages
The Bronze Pages of the Guidebook to Infinity Extra Edition are not present in the Standard Edition. They consist of thick, ivory-colored paper with bronze-colored foil wrapping around the edges. The words on these pages are printed in letters larger than normal for content pages and are written in a dark red ink that almost looks to be the color of blood that is neither fresh nor old. The words of the Bronze Pages seem to be printed out. The words are very neat, precise, and easy to read.
