´52, NDR/arte
The book is a complete work of art. The fascinating aspect, besides the content, is also the form, the color, the illustration, the typography, the pictures, the paper. It is the design, the loving details that create the passion and makes the book to a sensuous experience. This documentation is about the different aspects of book design. Well-known bookmakers, such as the Dutch Designer Irma Boom, the German publisher and printer Gerhard Steidl, the British Cover Artist Jon Gray, Parisian publisher Gerard Berreby, Hamburg-based Book- and Media Designer Dr. Rainer Groothuis and the French Illustrator and Author Bernard Granger, also known as Blexbolex, report on their work. It is an extraordinary journey through the universe of Book Art and Book Design that shows, the book will also survive the digital revolution.
