Product Description
From award-winning writer and designer Andrew Haslam comes the final word on book design. This authoritative text guides readers through establishing formats, constructing grids, choosing typefaces, designing a jacket, and, finally, preparing materials for the printer, with more than 300 illustrations to demonstrate every aspect of the process. Interviews with professional book designers provide valuable insight, and an extensive glossary of editorial, design, and production terms make a handy reference for the burgeoning new designer.
Book Design is one of three titles this spring from Abrams Studio, our new imprint dedicated to providing artists and designers with innovative, affordable books to help them improve their skills.

 Really Disappointed, 2008-05-18

Book Design, 2008-03-31
Although more for professional designers then I expected, I learned what I needed from this thorough book. I wanted enough information to lay out and understand design of my own books and found clear details and principles. However, this book has complete data for readers seeking far more than I was. A valuable future reference, I think.

 Best technical book on any subject I've seen for a while, 2007-09-19
When I opened this book and saw how slick and enticing it was, I was afraid that it might be just about the graphics side of book design. I wanted a technical book that provided a thorough coverage of the subject. I was not disappointed, however. This book gives a great treatment with clear, beautiful drawings that cover every subject from the aesthetics of page layout to mechanics of printing.
If you want to really understand book design then I highly recommend this wonderful book. Every page is delightful and yet full of important information.

Ideal!, 2007-03-15
While there are many, many design books and references available that contain most of the information in this book, this is the first time I've found such a good synthesis of content in one place. The order and organization of the book is extremely well thought out and logical, and the writing is excellent. I'm so happy to have found this book-- as a designer it's a wonderful reference, reinforcement, and source for learning. Definitely recommended.
