Summary:
This A-Z "memoir about art publishing" celebrates the ten-year anniversary of JRP|Ringier, created in 2004 by Swiss art curator Lionel Bovier and Ringier AG owner Michael Ringier.

The book goes from A for Art Publisher and B for Books to Y for Yellowpress and Z for Zombie Books ("projects that are in the state of non-death: they are not officially stopped, so they weigh on you, on your program's list, being revived every now and then by someone who does not want them to die, without being able to make them exist") and is illustrated with images of signings and on-press scenes. This volume is published in the Hapax series.

Summary:
The Anatomy of the Architectural Book examines the relationships between book culture and building culture, making visible the axes along which architectural knowledge circulates through books into buildings and back. Using five conceptual tools—texture, surface, rhythm, structure, and scale—Tavares analyzes the material qualities of a wide range of books in order to assess these dynamics and intersections. This investigation confronts us with the rise of the industrialized book, and thus of the editor as an important intermediary between the author and the printer, as well as with the configuration of the book as a unique visual device (with the designer taking part in a progressively more complex chain of decision-making). Richly illustrated with samples from the CCA library, the volume discusses work by authors including William Morris, Gottfried Semper, El Lissitzky, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. A large portion of the research for the book was undertaken while Tavares was a Visiting Scholar at the CCA. It is co-published in English by Lars Müller Publishers and in Portuguese by Dafne Editora.
