Publisher: Gestalten (March 22, 2013) Publication date: March 22, 2013 Language: English Hardcover: 272 pages ISBN-10: 3899554647 ISBN-13: 978-3899554649 Dimensions: 9.45 x 0.98 x 11.02 inches Young designers and publishers are ushering in a new era for printed books—one that is likely to be the most exciting in their entire history. Digital media are disappointing for books. All books look the same on an iPad, for example. On a monitor, a book isn’t thick or thin, big or small. Features such as Japanese binding, embossing, letterpress printing, or gilt edging are only possible in print. Consequently, it isn’t surprising that young, contemporary designers, publishers, typographers, illustrators, and editors are enthusiastically ushering in a new era for printed books. The book is in good condition. There is a small crease on the bottom left corner of the back cover (see attached photo).
