"Every book should begin with attractive endpapers. Preferably……" — Cornelia Funke
"Every book should begin with attractive endpapers. Preferably in a dark colour: dark red or dark blue, depending on the binding. When you open the book it's like going to the theatre. First you see the curtain. Then it's pulled aside and the show begins."
