Résumé:
"No Longer Innocent: Book Art in America : 1960–1980" is the first history to trace the emergence of the artist's book in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s. This history takes a inclusive view of the varied field of book art and redresses the sporadic or confused acknowledgment from the art world that has long marginalized the artist's book. The book identifies European precursors of these kinds of artists' books, then quickly moves to America with the development of artists and books and non-profit organization. "No Longer Innocent" also addresses the ways book art affected and responded to art movements, such as Pop, Fluxus, or Conceptualism.

Résumé:
Ever since the creation of the first Penguin paperbacks in 1935, their jackets have become a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture and design history. Rich with stunning illustrations and filled with detail of individual titles, designers and even the changing size and shape of the Penguin logo itself, this book shows how covers become design classics. By looking back at seventy years of Penguin paperbacks, Phil Baines charts the development of British publishing, book-cover design and the role of artists and designers in creating and defining the Penguin look. Coupling in-depth analysis of designers - from Jan Tschichold to Romek Marber - with a wide-ranging look at the range of series and titles published - from early Penguins and Pelicans, to wartime Specials, fiction and reference, this is a distinctive picture of how Penguin has consistently established its identity through its covers, influenced by - and influencing - the wider development of graphic design and the changing fashions in typography, photography, illustration or printing techniques. Filled with inspiring images, "Penguin by Design" demonstrates just how difficult it is not to judge a book by its cover.

Résumé:
What is the future of the book? And, specifically, what is the future of books on art, design and architecture, and cultural-critical publications? We asked a large number of international interested individuals to respond to this question. Journalists, artists, architects, curators, translators, designers, philosophers, sociologists, teachers, book scholars, publishers, printing houses, distributors, booksellers, historians and art-historians, critics, policymakers, editors, students, and many others have enthusiastically shared their views with us, looking ahead five, twenty or seventy-two years (to the year 2100). At times utopian, wildly fantasizing, at other times with realistic scenarios, in both text and images, exciting for anyone who loves books and/or is involved in books and cultural content. Each section of this publication will be designed by various young designers, to celebrate its scope and diversity.

Résumé:
In April 2003 010 Publishers of Rotterdam had been active for twenty years. During those two decades they have published five hundred books on architecture and design. This specialization reflects the enthusiasm of 010's founders, Hans Oldewarris and Peter de Winter, trained as an architect and an urban designer respectively at Delft University of Technology. Besides over one hundred monographs by and about Dutch architects, with Rem Koolhaas's "S,M,L,XL" as a provisional peak, 010 have published books on more wide-ranging architecture, interior design, photography, industrial design, graphic design, and the visual arts. These aspects include a keen interest in the theory and history of architecture and design. The lion’s share of this book is taken up with a catalogue spanning the period 1983-2003. Exhaustively annotated and illustrated, it gives not just the technical details of each book such as size, format, and binding style but also the authors, editors, photographers, graphic designers and printers. A brief description of the contents rounds off each entry. Comprehensive indexes give insight into who contributed to which book and in what way. In their introductory essay Ed Taverne and Cor Wagenaar give a picture of the practice of architectural publishing in the Netherlands during those years.

Résumé:
Every year The Best Dutch Book Design are put on exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Each book has been submitted by its publisher, designer or printer, or by the person who or body which commissioned it in the first place, and they are all displayed on a stage for the public's attention to be drawn to their handsome appearance and the ways in which solutions have been found in their designing, printing and binding. In fact, the whole point is the care and attention that can still be devoted to the production of printed matter in these hurried and often careless and indifferent times. These are 'good' books, not so much because of what they contain but precisely because of their striking size, format, cover, binding and/or interior- all of which may themselves be an immediate reflection of the contents.
