An open section of one of Hitler's books, with text on both pages. There are vertical red markings that resemble crayon markings on the sides of the page, seemingly highlighting or drawing attention to certain excerpts of the passage. There are two markings, one in the middle of the left page and the other in the middle of the right page. The book is flipped to page 88 and 89, with the right page being the first page to section III, titled "Praxis."
