Thank you for viewing. I am selling this item to organize my home. This is a book about paper materials. It includes Japanese paper and I think it's an interesting book. The exterior has some scratches, but the contents are unused. Please purchase only if you understand this. - Title: Design's Drawer 26 - Special Feature: How to Choose and Use Paper - Size: A4 size - Contents: Special feature on paper in design "Get to know paper thoroughly! How to choose and use paper" is the special feature. Along with a wealth of actual sample attachments, we will thoroughly introduce how to choose and use paper, including its appearance and functions, which is the No. 1 information everyone wants to know. Also included is the latest version of the "Paper Thickness Comparison Chart," which is popular every year. This is a must-have book for anyone who wants to know everything about paper. The special feature in this book is structured to allow you to experience the color, texture, feel, and smell of paper that cannot be understood from photographs by attaching actual samples as much as possible. It includes 18 types of "Curious Skin" from Europe and all 11 types of cast-coated paper "Kraft Cast," as well as many actual samples of new paper products and recommended papers from designers and the editorial department. By touching the actual paper along with the introduction articles, you can deepen your understanding of printing paper, fancy paper, cardboard, etc. In line with the paper special feature, pulp sheets of coniferous trees are used for the cover. As a special appendix, a "Paper Thickness Comparison Chart 2015" in a folding format is also included, allowing you to compare paper specifications regardless of the manufacturer. In the series "Experimenting!" where designer Shin Sobue challenges printing and processing, he challenges printing using so-called "donut halftone dots," which are double-circle halftone dots. A printing sample that can be compared with normal AM halftone dots is also attached. In addition, the series articles such as "Craftsmen of Bookbinding," "Portraits of Master Craftsmen," and "Layout Revelation" are also substantial. Various technical information is explained in an easy-to-understand manner, making it a useful book for designers. Publisher: Graphic-sha Publishing Co., Ltd. Editor: Graphic-sha Editorial Department
