Through interiors as well as covers, designers provide structure and information that shape the meaning and experience of books. In "The design of books", Debbie Berne shines a light on the conventions and processes of her profession, revealing both the aesthetic and market-driven decisions designers consider to make books readable and beautiful. In clear, unstuffy language, Berne reveals how books are put together, with discussions of production considerations, typography and fonts, page layouts, use of images and color, special issues for ebooks, and the very face of each book: the cover.

Summary:
This volume gathers a collection of 50 texts on book design written by designers Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Berlin-based graphic and type design studio Formal Settings. The texts are based on a selection of books from the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room, a conceptual bookstore and event space in Berlin. Each text centers on a single book from the collection, examining its visual and tactile elements—from materials to layout to binding to typography. The essays explore the role and potential of books through the lens of design, mapping what their physical forms communicate about their content. Lindskrog and Kollberg draw parallels between each book as a design object and the cultural movements, political landscapes and economic conditions under which they were created. The 50 texts are paired with an introduction by Formal Settings, a foreword by Hopscotch Reading Room and an afterword in which designer, author and educator Prem Krishnamurthy offers additional framing and perspective to the project.

Clip, Stamp, Fold takes stock of seventy little magazines from this period that were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term little magazine was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, this book includes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced moments of littleness, influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.
