Designing Books: Practice and Theory

4to. Publisher’s decorated black cloth boards. Dust jacket slightly sunned to spine. Otherwise fine. *** This book has three parts. The first part ( ‘Book design as a school of thought’) was originally delivered (in German) as a lecture and published as a pamphlet, in 1991. It appears here for the first time in English. Part 2 (‘Designing books’) was published as a separate booklet in 1989, in German. Translation into several other languages followed, including an English edition (1990): all long out of print. The version published here has been revised and considerably augmented with new illustrations. The third part (”Books designed by Jost Hochuli’) is completely new.
