Guidebook to Infinity Standard 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 Standard Edition, which is the edition most Players were given and the edition that is able to be bought at many general stores.

Covers
The GtIS 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 drawn in the same shimmery, silver-colored ink as the words on the front cover and spine.

Section Title Pages
The section title pages of the Guidebook to Infinity Standard Edition 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 Standard Edition 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.
