Hi

This puzzles me because I do not know how to reproduce it on a new EPUB.
http://webrealis.net/ebook/monLivre.epub

This is a link that has been already published on a MobileRead thread. It's an EPUB containing a catalogue advertising 40 fullscreen images. Each image is in the background and has some text overwritten. Mind, the text is not written within the image, it's just overwritten, which makes it very convenient when you wish to modify something on the text.

I had a look at the EPUB. All looks plain and sensible. However, hard as I try, I do not know how to modify and insert these kind of images as background in an EPUB and what's more surprising, I cannot find any clue in this EPUB itself. The image looks as usual, the style-sheet looks as usual.

Would a Sherlock Holmes have a look at it and provide a working solution, say using Sigil?
Where is the trick?
