For centuries, the physical book has been the ideal reading machine.

So as books are increasingly supplanted by digital, onscreen reading, it is only natural that we find ourselves wondering what will be lost in the transition. This collection, edited by scholars with expertise in electronic publishing and the digital humanities, focuses instead on what we might gain—how screen technology might shape and improve the very activities for which we have always used paper.

Résumé:
A “good book” and whatever it is that makes a book beautiful are not easy to define – the details of a design may well suit one book to perfection, but be very much out of place with another publication. With this in mind the author and designer Bernd Kuchenbeiser launched his website “A good book”, where publications of many different genres are presented and discussed(...)

A “good book” and whatever it is that makes a book beautiful are not easy to define – the details of a design may well suit one book to perfection, but be very much out of place with another publication. With this in mind the author and designer Bernd Kuchenbeiser launched his website “A good book”, where publications of many different genres are presented and discussed especially in the context of their creative design.

Résumé:
Is print really dead, or is it going to die anytime soon? This book examines “a particular (and often puzzling) period in the history of print… as new digital technologies are rapidly transforming both the status and the role of printed materials.” The medium of print is without doubt under threat from new digital sources, yet the two are also finding a paradoxical coexistence despite their shared characteristics and functional competition. In some ways, print is actually nowadays being revitalized rather than replaced, an intriguing prospect which is explored in depth in the pages of this book.

Résumé:
Though we think of the 1960s and the early ‘70s as a time of radical social, cultural, and political upheaval, we tend to picture the action as happening on campuses and in the streets. Yet the rise of the underground newspaper was equally daring and original. Thanks to advances in cheap offset printing, groups involved in antiwar, civil rights, and other social liberation issues began to spread their messages through provocatively designed newspapers and broadsheets. Power to the People presents more than 700 full-color images and excerpts from these publications, many of which have not been seen since they were first published almost fifty years ago.
