There is the main text, of course, the file that the author proudly submits to their publisher. But around this, hemming it in on the page or enclosing it at the front and back of the book, there are dozens of other texts--page numbers and running heads, copyright statements and errata lists--each possessed of particular conventions, each with their own lively histories. To consider these paratexts--recalling them from the margins, letting them take centre stage--is to be reminded that no book is the sole work of the author whose name appears on the cover; rather, every book is the sum of a series of collaborations. It is to be reminded, also, that not everything is intended for us, the readers.

With over 200 illustrations plus six new interviews with design practitioners such as Second Story, Brody Associates and Peter Dawson, the student is introduced to the creative use of grids in contemporary practice as well as the basic principles that underlie their effective use.

Our houses and apartments are divided into rooms; our drawers are designed with divided compartments to separate our things, and our parking lots are divided into rows of parallel spaces. In communication design, a grid provides a compositional framework through its network of horizontal and vertical intersecting lines that subdivide the page creating a guide to establish proportional relationships between the design elements. The authors of \u003ci\u003eGrids for Graphic Designers\u003c\/i\u003e state their goal is to introduce the basic principles of grid usage. They do so in a clear, articulate and visually informative process.

Examples of inventive designs are accompanied by meaningful annotations focusing both on what, and how it is represented. This exploration of relationships between content and grid format demonstrates the plurality of the approaches and the passage from fixed to fluidity as a modern way of representation. There are two generalisations about the grids: first, that they are inexhaustible and second, that they are selective. From this double perspective, the book demonstrates ‘grid making’ as a form of knowledge and provides a renewed context for the debate about the meaning and role of grids. -- Iwona Abrams, Senior Lecturer, BA Graphic Communication Design, University of Westminster, UK\u003cbr\u003eAn essential and authoritative toolkit for constructors of the humble grid that will both inform and inspire content delivery, whether for print or screen.

The importance of historic and fine bindings to the founders of the Grolier Club is evidenced by their establishment in 1895 of the Club Bindery, as well as by the more than thirty-five exhibitions of bookbindings that have been held at the club. Ranging from early incunabula to newly produced books from the present day, the Grolier Club collection boasts some of the finest bookbindings in the world.

Housed in a clear Plexiglas box, this card-deck conception of his project draws from that material, and from other writings alluding to its possible forms, including a letter in which he describes “a book that is architectural…. The orphic explanation of the Earth, which is the sole duty of the poet, and the literary game par excellence.”  The title of this game derives from another letter in which Mallarmé writes, “perhaps the title of my volume of lyric poetry will be The Glory of the Lie, or The Glorious Lie.” Each deck contains 48 cards: three with artwork on each side, and 45 with words or phrases on each side. The size of the cards, their gold edging and the physical housing of the decks in the box reflect descriptions and clues in Mallarmé’s notes.  The manner of playing the game is left open, but quotes and diagrams by Mallarmé in the accompanying 20-page booklet point to the idea of pulling cards from each of the four decks and laying them out for one reading, then flipping the cards over for a second reading. The image cards function like the Arcana of Tarot, providing a visual language equal to the word cards. The readings might be used to create poetry or, like Tarot, to divine or illuminate.","brand":"Marquand Books Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867981394263,"sku":"9781646570249","price":49.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781646570249.jpg?v=1791475611"},{"product_id":"bookbinding-the-complete-guide-to-folding-sewing-binding-9781786271686","title":"Bookbinding: The Complete Guide to Folding,","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Laurence King Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868360192343,"sku":"9781786271686","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781786271686.jpg?v=1722287668"},{"product_id":"childrens-picturebooks-second-edition-the-art-of-visual-storytelling-9781786275738","title":"Children's Picturebooks Second Edition: The Art","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildren''s picturebooks are the very first book we encounter and play a major role in introducing us to both art and language.

It critiques the popular art-market definition of the photobook as simply a photographer’s book, proposing instead to show how books and photos come together as collective cultural productions. Focusing on North American, British and French photobooks from 1920 to the present, the chapters revisit canonical works – by Claudia Andujar and George Love, Mohamed Bourouissa, Walker Evans, Susan Meiselas and Roland Penrose – while also delving into institutional, digital and unrealised projects, illegal practices, DIY communities and the poetic impulse. They throw new light on the way that gendered, racial or colonial assumptions are resisted.

The years after the Second World War were a time of great economic, social, and cultural change as consumerism erupted across industrialized countries, fuelled by the growth of mass communication. The same period was also one of exceptional creativity, including in the fields of typography and graphic design.   During the war, governments came to appreciate the skill of designers in communicating public information effectively. Once the conflict was over, designers were recognized for the first time as having an essential role to play in the rebuilding of economies, infrastructure, and public morale. The typographer, however, was still something of a 'Cinderella': type was crucial to communication in almost any medium, yet typography remained a vague and largely unacknowledged profession.   This perception changed dramatically between 1945 and 1965. The range of media expanded, and the influence of time-based media such as television and film was profound, providing information 'as it happens' and transforming the turning of a page into the equivalent of the film editor's cut. 'Speed' was the elixir for growth and prosperity. The specific needs of motorway and airport signage were recognized as requiring the expertise of a typographer. Phototypesetting and offset lithographic printing coalesced to provide full-colour reproduction, which in turn vastly increased the sale of all printed material, but especially books and magazines. All of this drew typographers into what became established as specialist fields of printed and screen media. Finally, the cultural value of the typographer's work could be equated with that of the artist, poet, author, and film director.  Mid-Century Type charts this meteoric rise of the typographer and graphic designer (often one and the same person) during the early post-war decades. Each chapter is devoted to a specialist field of design activity in which typography played a significant role, from type design and corporate identity to advertising and film, and television. David Jury's text offers fresh insight into the work of a wide array of British, European, and American typographers and is accompanied by some 350 illustrations, many from the author's own extensive collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Type Design Typographic Journals Posters Corporate Identity Advertising Magazines Books Transport Signage Film and Television Printed Ephemera Notes Further Reading Acknowledgments Index","brand":"Merrell Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888183783767,"sku":"9781858947075","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781858947075.jpg?v=1722548136"},{"product_id":"william-harry-rogers-victorian-book-designer-and-star-of-the-great-exhibition-9781911397175","title":"William Harry Rogers: Victorian Book Designer and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe year 2023 sees the 150th anniversary of the death of William Harry Rogers.

His designs won several prize medals at the Great Exhibition of 1851, the event which provides a ubiquitous reference point for cultural histories of the nineteenth century.
