Résumé:
In April 2003 010 Publishers of Rotterdam had been active for twenty years. During those two decades they have published five hundred books on architecture and design. This specialization reflects the enthusiasm of 010's founders, Hans Oldewarris and Peter de Winter, trained as an architect and an urban designer respectively at Delft University of Technology. Besides over one hundred monographs by and about Dutch architects, with Rem Koolhaas's "S,M,L,XL" as a provisional peak, 010 have published books on more wide-ranging architecture, interior design, photography, industrial design, graphic design, and the visual arts. These aspects include a keen interest in the theory and history of architecture and design. The lion’s share of this book is taken up with a catalogue spanning the period 1983-2003. Exhaustively annotated and illustrated, it gives not just the technical details of each book such as size, format, and binding style but also the authors, editors, photographers, graphic designers and printers. A brief description of the contents rounds off each entry. Comprehensive indexes give insight into who contributed to which book and in what way. In their introductory essay Ed Taverne and Cor Wagenaar give a picture of the practice of architectural publishing in the Netherlands during those years.

Résumé:
Every year The Best Dutch Book Design are put on exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Each book has been submitted by its publisher, designer or printer, or by the person who or body which commissioned it in the first place, and they are all displayed on a stage for the public's attention to be drawn to their handsome appearance and the ways in which solutions have been found in their designing, printing and binding. In fact, the whole point is the care and attention that can still be devoted to the production of printed matter in these hurried and often careless and indifferent times. These are 'good' books, not so much because of what they contain but precisely because of their striking size, format, cover, binding and/or interior- all of which may themselves be an immediate reflection of the contents.

Vaste enjeu qui englobe une immense disparité de styles, d'histoires, de concepts, qui voient le jour depuis que ces ouvrages existent, car le livre fait par un artiste est au croisement entre l'univers du livre et celui des arts visuels. Les interventions du colloque, complémentaires ou parfois contradictoires, montrent le foisonnement esthétique, théorique, développé autour des artistes, quand ils se mettent à s'occuper de ce petit volume rectangulaire d'aspect anodin que l'on trouve le plus souvent sur les tables des librairies: le livre. Ce colloque met aussi en évidence la portée littéraire, artistique et théorique de cette famille de livres, grâce à des spécialistes aux compétences variées: artistes, éditeurs, responsables de collections spécialisées, historiens et philosophes.

Résumé:
It's said that you can't judge a book by its cover. George Salter, a legendary figure in the field of book design, never subscribed to this belief. For more than forty years, his beautifully drawn and lettered covers served as elegant windows onto the works of such revered authors as Albert Camus, John Dos Passos, Jack London, and Thomas Mann. Salter had the rare ability to reduce the illustrated dust jacket -- a new part of the book package -- to its essential elements. He could visually evoke -- with typography, calligraphy, and pictorial imagery -- the contents of any given book. Salter's life and work bridged two continents and cultures, and spanned the severest political turmoil of the 20th century. Through a tumultuous life, nothing halted his tireless and brilliant design work. Classic Book Jackets tells Salter's story and describes the innovative design thinking he brought to his design students (including his designation of seven different jacket types that are still valid today). It includes more than 200 reproductions of his finest works, and a complete catalogue of his jackets, designs, layouts, and lettering jobs for the book trade.

Résumé:
This lively and authoritative book explores the influence of the Bauhaus and modernism on typography and book design. Alan Bartram examines work by such key figures as Max Bill, F. T. Marinetti, El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Jan Tschichold, and Paul Rand. All of the carefully chosen examples, some of which have not been previously reproduced, clearly demonstrate the modernist revolution that took place in graphic design. In an informative introductory essay, Bartram surveys the German art and design school known as the Bauhaus. Under Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus intended to create an academic, theoretical, and practical synthesis of all forms of visual expression, a marrying of art, architecture, industry, and design that had never been attempted before. Although the Bauhaus existed for only fourteen years, from 1920 to 1934, Bartram asserts that its philosophy influenced the appearance of almost every kind of modernist artifact throughout the twentieth century and continues to do so today.
