Do you know when the first book was born? Have you ever wondered what are the basic components of a book? And how can we possibly make a book from scratch? Book Design is a publication that answers all these questions. It offers an overview of what a book is, how it is made, and how we can improve it with good design and printing techniques. The first two chapters focus more on historical and theoretical knowledge, while the last two showcase examples of contemporary book designs, including detailed information and interviews with eight graphic designers from all over the world. It is not just a "must-have" book for designers in the field, but a "should-have" for those who want to know more about book design, as well as self-publishers and small presses.

Does designing a book follow a logical and well-thought-out process? Swiss graphic designer and typographer Jost Hochuli studies the crucial role played by instinct throughout the various stages of planning a book, from selecting a character type and size to determining the layout of the block of texts. 'Systematic Book Design?' was written for a conference the author gave for the first time in Munich in 2007. Drawing on examples from five books he created, Jost Hochuli considers the questions which arose while they were being designed and the importance of intuition in rational thought. The text is illustrated by pictures of Jost Hochuli's work, and was first published in issue #4 of Back Cover magazine. Graphic designer John Morgan wrote a foreword to the present edition.
