Jost Hochuli & Robin Kinross
Designing books practice and theory
This book not only makes a good introduction to book design and provides very practical tips, but also somehow inspires — inspires to think, to try, to make.
Designing Books provides practical guidelines for book design: page proportions, typefaces, paper choices, bindings, and book jackets. Numerous drawings and reproductions of book pages accompany the text. Also included is an overview of book design and the work of Swiss typographer, Jost Hochuli.
