Making Books: Design in British Publishing Since 1945

0/5 ( ratings)

The profound changes in British life since 1945 have inevitably been reflected in the world of book publishing.

While emphasising that a satisfying book is the result of teamwork between author, editor, designer and printer, he is mainly concerned with their design, and the creative process that ends with a book which is not only elegant, but has high standards of readability.
