Do you know when the first book was born? Have you ever wondered what are the basic components of a book? And how can we possibly make a book from scratch? Book Design is a publication that answers all these questions. This publication offers an overview of what a book is, how it is made, and how we can improve it with good design and printing techniques. The first two chapters focus more on historical and theoretical knowledge; the last two showcase examples of contemporary book designs, including detailed information and interviews with eight selected graphic designers from all over the world. It is a must have for those who want to know more about a book’s structure, design, and manufacture, as well as self-publishers and small presses. Editorial graphic design is one of the most comprehensive areas in design and this publication will provide you with the ins and outs to render a project from scratch to the finished book.
