Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ninth volume of the Print Network series contains twelve chapters from scholars working on the connections between the parties involved in the production of print artefacts, from author to printer, publisher, bookseller and reader. Chronologically, the offerings range from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries as they track the developing trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Publishers and readers who spent part of their lives in North America are also featured in several of the chapters. The main theme emerging from this volume is the significance of cheap print, including newspapers and journals. The social, cultural political and economic significance of these artefacts is highlighted by an in-depth examination of the lives of those men and women who participated in the book trade.

Download or read book Twentieth-century Style & Design written by Stephen Bayley and published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The twentieth century is the first century of self-conscious, total design at every level of our living and environment. Care and vision in the application of design have come to be demanded in every aspect of modern life - from our kitchens and bathrooms, to our factories and workshops, from our clothes and domestic objects, to the packaging of pocket calculators or the structuring of plastic dining chairs. Twentieth-Century Style and Design is a major survey, lavishly illustrated throughout. It traces the concerns of designers of this century in four chronological sections: the pioneers from 1900 to 1915; ornament versus pure form of the twenties and thirties; austerity and reconstruction in the forties and fifties; and experiment versus continuity in the sixties to the present. Although each section is divided according to the type of design - decorative arts, industrial and domestic design, and architecture and the urban environment - the emphasis is on the all-embracing nature of design in the twentieth century. The authors are all leading authorities actively involved in the promotion of contemporary arts. Combining their knowledge and experience, they have produced a book which is essential reading for those involved with architecture and design and for anyone interested in this increasingly pervasive aspect of today." -- Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the sequence of operations involved in creating a book bound in leather, or a fine binding. The author defines a fine binding as a book fully covered in leather, with leather-jointed endpapers, gilt edges, and leather doublures. Although a basic knowledge of bookbinding terms and techniques is assumed, this book is meant for both novice and experienced bookmakers.The book is intended to be used as an active guide during the process of fine binding. It is arranged into sixteen sections, listing the sequence of operations, beginning with preliminary work and ending with preparing and putting in leather doublures. Each section includes appropriately numbered instructions allowing the user to find his or her place in the sequence of operations with a reference for what step is next. There are also numbered explanatory sections that include a rationale (why you do it) and technique (how you do it). The work includes close to 300 black and white illustrations, four appendices, and a bibliography.
