title: Fully Booked: Cover Art & Design for Books
author: Robert Klanten
description: Many prophesied that the printed book would be doomed by developments in<br />digital media. Far from it! The book has not only survived, but as tactile qualities<br />have gained significance in our increasingly digital world there is also more<br />unhindered experimentation with bound paper pages now than ever before. The<br />materiality of the medium can give sensual emphasis to complex visual and<br />textual content or appreciate its value. Some content isn t even apparent until it<br />takes the form of a real object the printed book.<br />Fully Booked is devoted to current cover and book design. It presents material<br />from printed publications that succeed in striking a crucial balance between<br />the market s demands for availability, legibility and durability on the one hand<br />and sophisticated visual and content design on the other. By featuring projects<br />in this experimental field that combine enormous creativity with skilled craftsmanship,<br />Fully Booked also reveals trends in today s graphic design.<br />In addition, Fully Booked presents a choice selection of artist books. Created by<br />hand and printed in limited editions, these publications push the boundaries of<br />conventional book design.<br />Its range of inspiring examples not only makes Fully Booked a must-have for<br />graphic designers, book creators and publishers, but also for every book lover.
