Included in its pages are lavishly produced books with unconventional formats and unusual print techniques as well as less flamboyant publications produced for various different markets. A wide variety of books are featured, from paperback novels to architectural monographs, from text-based to profusely-illustrated books. Divided into four main sections -- "Packaging," "Navigation," "Layout," and "Specification" -- the book examines each facet of book design: cover design; contents and structure; image usage; grids; typography; paper; printing; and binding. Clear photography captures each featured book, and interviews with prominent book designers, art directors, and publishers provide extra insight. New Book Design is sure to provide a rich source of inspiration to book designers and bibliophiles alike.

Experimental Formats & Packaging
Experimental Formats/Experimental Packaging combines two highly successful titles from the same series. Experimental Formats examines the shape and size of the designed page and reveals how decisions made at this initial stage of the design process have a huge impact on the finished design. Today with so much information being projected through screen in a conventional horizontal format, it is appealing to see shapes that are more unusual and more stimulating. Provides examples of how contemporary designers are pushing the boundaries in this area and explores exciting questions such as how to make a book that does not look like a book. Experimental Packaging features examples by designers who break all the conventional rules by creating unique pieces of structural art. New concepts are illustrated with templates and diagrams. There are ten templates included, adaptable for use with some of the unusual materials featured in the book.

Materials, Process, Print
There is an enormous wealth of materials and of print and manufacturing processes currently available to designers. These opportunities are rarely fully explored, whether from lack of knowledge, or from a belief that they will be too costly, too complicated, or too time-consuming. Materials, Process, Print explores these diverse possibilities, providing insights into how they can be stretched, skewed, and subverted to produce original results. In-depth analysis of specific materials and of key print and manufacturing processes is combined with a series of case studies showcasing innovative practice from major international studios at the cutting edge of contemporary design. Functioning as a handbook for reference and a highly illustrated source of ideas and creative solutions, this book suggests fresh approaches and new ways of thinking for designers working in graphic design and packaging, and will also be of interest to product designers and anyone who commissions design in these fields.
Print and Production Finishes for Brochures and Catalogs
Print and Production Finishes for Brochures and Catalogs demystifies the production process for graphic designers, enabling them to achieve the best possible work. At some point, every graphic designer is commissioned to design a brochure or catalogue. While other books offer inspiration for design, this book focuses on the materials and finishing techniques needed to create the desired effect for those jobs, exploring their creation from a production and manufacturing point of view. Roger Fawcett-Tang has selected world-class work across all areas, from high fashion to mail order, and reveals the skills and techniques needed to meet any requirement. There’s also an illustrated glossary of materials (both standard and innovative) and processes. From producing the latest aspirational publication to making the mundane look desirable, Print and Production Finishes for Brochures and Catalogs is both an indispensable practical guide and a sourcebook for ideas.
