Знаменитый каталог Уокер & Даун

The concept feels so unique—was it based on a real catalog or purely imaginative? I wonder how the idea evolved during writing.

I loved the rich background, but some parts felt a bit slow. Was that intentional to build atmosphere or a challenge of balancing storytelling?

The playful style made history feel accessible and fun, but I’m curious how that choice shaped the storytelling overall.
