In the first two  basic principles in the theory and practice of book design are discussed. The third part then shows how the ideas of the first and second parts have been applied in particular examples. Book design as a school of thought was originally delivered (in German) as a lecture and published as a pamphlet  in 1991. This is its first publication in English. Designing books was published as a separate booklet by Agfa (Wilmington  Mass.) 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. Here Robin Kinross comments on 27 of Hochulis works. Both authors are internationally known  Kinross more as critic and historian  Hochuli above all as a practitioner. In this book they offer a serious introduction to book design  free of ideological dogma. Short and concise  it contains a rich  painstakingly selected fund of illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280098615349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0907259081","price":335.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780907259084.jpg?v=1780620747","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/designing-books-practice-and-theory-9780907259084","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
