Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of function in book design. It examines the relationship between the practical needs of the reader and the demands of a commercially successful product. The author delves into the specific design elements that contribute to a book's utility, such as running heads and typography. The text also grapples with the tension between tradition and innovation in book design. The author discusses the merits of incorporating past styles while arguing for a contemporary approach that reflects the unique characteristics of the era in which the book is being created. The book ultimately emphasizes the importance of creating books that are both beautiful and useful, recognizing that these qualities are not mutually exclusive. It encourages designers to consider the full range of their audience's needs, from aesthetics to practicality, to produce truly meaningful and enduring works.
