As we turn the page, we are presented with a sum doubling the number on the page before it: 1+1 = 2; 2+2 = 4; 4+4 = 8. In this way, we reach a million (actually 1,048,576) within 44 pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each sum is brought to life with a simple graphic illustration in the distinctive style of Sven Völker.
