Two books about and inspired by the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. The Fibonacci Sequence has always attracted the attention of people since, as well as having special mathematical properties, other numbers so ubiquitous as those of Fibonacci do not exist anywhere else in mathematics: they appear in geometry, algebra, number theory, in many other fields of mathematics and even in nature. I created a grid and a system based on the sequence. Each page is divided by three, each standing for one page. On each of the pages that stand for a number from the Fibonacci sequence there will be found pieces of text. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584
