The Bonds zine is available in two formats: the Dual Pages and the Single Page versions.
While the original Dual Pages version offers a digital experience close to books via a layout in spreads, the Single Page version and its vertical format is easily printable.
If each version has its own original cover, the content remains identical! Enjoy!
