Following the artist's wishes, there is no preface or narrator in the book, so close friends who have been with him throughout his fifty years of artistic activity including Goli Taraghi, Dariush Shayegan, Shahla Hosseini, Sharouz Nazari, Leila Moghtader have provided short texts for his works.

There was only one original idea, or so-called artist's own, a "backbone", of the book, and the rest became apparent during its creation and compilation. It has always been the artist's belief that the book should be like a life, which an audience can easily relate to.
