Layout and Design Books -- New Book Design
Price: $22.05
Price: $12.93
New Book Design showcases the most interesting, influential, and accomplished book designs from the last ten years.It features over 100 titles published around the world, each chosen for their outstanding design qualities, from the publications of large mainstream publishers to those of small independent companies -- and even those from individual artists. Included in its pages are lavishly produced books with unconventional formats and unusual print techniques as well as less flamboyant publications produced for various different markets. A wide variety of books are featured, from paperback novels to architectural monographs, from text-based to profusely-illustrated books.
Divided into four main sections -- "Packaging," "Navigation," "Layout," and "Specification" -- the book examines each facet of book design: cover design; contents and structure; image usage; grids; typography; paper; printing; and binding. Clear photography captures each featured book, and interviews with prominent book designers, art directors, and publishers provide extra insight.
New Book Design is
sure to provide a rich source of inspiration to book designers and bibliophiles
alike.

Book
Layout and Design Books -- Children's Book Illustration & Design II
Price: Used starting from $11.00
Editorial - From
School Library Journal
This visual feast follows the successful pattern established in the first
volume: a sidebar with a photo and biographical sketch of the illustrator
introduces carefully labeled, high-quality reproductions of children's
book art with quotations from the artist. There are, however, many improvements
over the earlier title. Because of the sophisticated new page design,
the organization is better and more visually appealing. In volume one,
entries ran to three pages, frequently leaving different artists on facing
pages. This book usually employs two double-page spreads, providing more
generous coverage. Cummins has selected more than 50 artists that go beyond
the first volume's "notables" and introduces many up-and-coming
illustrators (e.g., Mark Buehner, Yumi Heo, Dan Yaccarino) along with
established artists not previously included (e.g., Victoria Chess, Leo
and Diane Dillon, Ted Lewin). In addition to author/illustrator and title
indexes, a segment for publishers has been added. Because of increased
interest in children's book illustration and visual literacy, most public
libraries should consider adding these volumes to their collections. Academic
collections will find them essential because they document the contemporary
scene and anticipate the future.ASue Burgess, Framingham State College,
