The book is divided into pre, mid, and post-stages. These three stages also apply to the various stages of Alzheimer's disease. Different design approaches are used in different stages. Combining tracing paper, a very fragile material, at an early stage can show the vulnerability of people with Alzheimer's disease. The temperature sensitive ink are combined with text in the mid-stage. When one places one's hand on it, writing appears. In the late stages, the book is combined with fire. Burned paper is irreparable, as is the patient's ability to remember at this stage.
