Résumé:
Elucidating key issues and themes in contemporary photobook culture—from the medium’s post-digital and post-photographic condition to the aims of publishing, issues of accessibility and the act of reading—Matt Johnston’s "Photobooks &" combines research and interviews with key individuals from the photobook world. Informed by his experience with the Photobook Club project, Johnston examines current trends and practices, emphasizing connections (made and missed) between makers and readers. Johnston calls for a recalibration of a maker-centric discourse to address the communicative potential of the medium: aligning making with making public.

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:
"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:
It's said that you can't judge a book by its cover. George Salter, a legendary figure in the field of book design, never subscribed to this belief. For more than forty years, his beautifully drawn and lettered covers served as elegant windows onto the works of such revered authors as Albert Camus, John Dos Passos, Jack London, and Thomas Mann. Salter had the rare ability to reduce the illustrated dust jacket -- a new part of the book package -- to its essential elements. He could visually evoke -- with typography, calligraphy, and pictorial imagery -- the contents of any given book. Salter's life and work bridged two continents and cultures, and spanned the severest political turmoil of the 20th century. Through a tumultuous life, nothing halted his tireless and brilliant design work. Classic Book Jackets tells Salter's story and describes the innovative design thinking he brought to his design students (including his designation of seven different jacket types that are still valid today). It includes more than 200 reproductions of his finest works, and a complete catalogue of his jackets, designs, layouts, and lettering jobs for the book trade.

Résumé:
Les couvertures des livres de poche publiés depuis 1935 par la maison Penguin Books font aujourd'hui partie intégrante de la culture disciplinaire des designers graphiques dans le monde entier – mais qu'en est-il de la forme typographique des textes littéraires que publie le célèbre éditeur britannique ? Andrew Barker, qui travailla chez Penguin pendant plus d'une décennie, expose ici le processus méthodologique à l'œuvre dans sa révision de la mise en texte des ouvrages de la collection « Penguin Classics », une référence incontournable dans le paysage de l'édition littéraire au Royaume-Uni, et nous offre par la même occasion une leçon de typographie fondamentale aussi exigeante que nécessaire. Ce texte aussi lucide qu'exigeant est complété d'un long entretien avec l'auteur dans lequel il revient sur son parcours de designer de livre et les valeurs intellectuelles et éthiques qui sous-tendent sa pratique.
