Fissure
This book reminds me of the Niagara Escarpment's cracks and fissures. A large crevasse starts when a tiny root manages to pry a little hole for itself. The crack grows over time to eventually give a large crevasse. The green splinter on the front cover is wedging itself between the two colors, just the way a root would squeeze its way into the rocks. The edges of the pages have been painted with a dark green paste and then rubbed with beeswax to seal in the color.
