Axel-Nilsson, Christian:
Type Studies. The Norstedt Collection of Matrices in the Typefoundry of the Royal Printing Office. A History and Catalogue
Norstedts Tryckeri, Stockhom, Sweden 1983. 198, (1) pages. 4to (31,5 x 21,5 cm). Bound in original red cloth, gold stamped board, gilt spine title, all edges graphite grey. Photo illustrated in colour and b/w, large section with type specimens. Three type specimens, folded twice, from the Danish type founder Johann Gottfried Pöetzsch loosely inserted. Unopened copy.
This thesis describes a collection of early typefounding matrices at the Norstedts typefoundry in Stockholm which are a very rare and precious commodity with an important bearing on the study of early letter design in printing. Only a few similar collections have survived down to the present day. The collection contains about 20.000 matrices manufactured by hand for hand-casting between about 1500 and 1850. The matrices, comprising letters, signs and ornaments, are listed in a catalogue containing about 200 items. The collection includes unique roman, italic and Greek typefaces by punchcutters who worked for Christopher Plantin and also provides the first complete documentation of roman, italic Fraktur and Schwabacher typefaces by German punchcutters active in about 1700.

Lasn, Kalle - King, Emily &al.:
The Barnbrook Bible. The Graphic Design of Jonathan Barnbrook
Rizzoli, New York 2007. 328 pages. 4to (28 x 22 cm). Gold decorated cloth boards, dust jacket. New copy.
Known for his revolutionary typefaces, Jonathan Barnbrook (born 1966) is the most sought after contemporary graphic designer working across a broad range of disciplines including graphic design, industrial design, typeface design and film. Possibly best known as a result of his collaboration with major figures in the international art scene such as the Saatchi Gallery and Damien Hirst, Barnbrook has won numerous awards for motion graphics for his commercial film work.
His most celebrated collaboration includes art directing Adbusters, the leading activist magazine. He also produces copyright-free work that highlights political and social injustices. Unafraid to express his political viewpoint, Barnbrook has garnered both praise and criticism for releasing subversive typefaces named in a confrontational manner, such as “Manson” (after the serial killer) that highlight the relationship of words to the letterforms that represent them.
In this first book by and about him, The Barnbrook Bible features a great deal of never-before-seen work, some of them created specifically for the book.

updike, daniel berkeley:
The Well-Made Book. Essays and Lectures by Daniel Berkeley Updike. Edited and with an introduction by William S. Peterson
Mark Batty Publisher, New York 2002. xxii, 383 pp. + colophon. Case bound in cloth. Dust jacket. 31 full page illustrations many in 2 colours. New copy.
Daniel Berkeley Updike (1860-1941) has been described as the most distinguished American printer. He was one of a handful of highly successful and influential book designers of the twentieth century and proprietor of the Merrymount Press in Boston. Updike’s aesthetic philosophy and commitment to quality in the making of books have a special relevance today at a time of rapid change in the media arts.
The Well-Made Book is a substantial and timeless collection of virtually all of Updike’s writings on the art of the book. William S. Peterson has researched, unearthed and assembled this wealth of material such of which will be new even to those readers who are familiar with Updike’s writings. Until the publication of The Well-Made Book, many of these important and revealing essays have been hard to find, and some of Updike’s writing featured in this book appears here for the first time. There is a complete index, annotations, and a new scholarly introduction by Peterson.

Hutner, Martin & Kelly, Jerry:
A Century for the Century. Fine Printed Books 1900 to 1999
David R. Godine, Jaffrey, New Hampshire 2004. lxii, 110 pages. 4to (31 x 23.5 cm). Blue cloth, titled in gilt on the front cover & the spine. Dust jacket. Revised and enlarged edition. New copy.
Any serious book collector (and the most serious belong to New York´s Grolier Club, that pre-eminent shrine for bibliophiles) harbors a latent penchant for book lists, particularly when presented in neat doses of one hundred titles. Here then are the 100 greatest printed books of the 20th century (at least in the opinions of Grolier´s Messrs. Hutner and Kelly), from L´Imprimerie Nationale´s 1900 pressing of Paul Verlaine´s Parallèlement, with lithographs by Pierre Bonnard, to Wild Carrot Letterpress´s illustrated 1996 selection of Rumi´s poetry Divan-E-Shams. Each is represented by one large sample page, reproduced in duotone or colour.
"This is a book that all lovers of printing as a fine art will acquire & pore over: hardly a page does not offers something to arouse interest & satisfy the eye." Bibliographical Society of America.

No Art Without Craft. The Life of Theodore Low De Vinne, Printer
David R. Godine, Boston 2005. xii, 329 pages + colophon. Red cloth titled and decorated in gilt on the front cover & the spine. Dust jacket. 57 b/w text illustrations + 8 pages of colour illustrations. With a check list of Theodore Low De Vinne’s published writings. New copy.
This full-scale, illustrated biography of Theodore Low De Vinne (1828–1914) explores the life of a seminal figure in the history of American printing. Born in upstate New York, he was for years the primary printer for the Century Company, producing its distinguished list of books and such national magazines as St. Nicholas and The Century. His masterly printing of wood engravings, together with his obsession with presswork, composition, and typefaces, gained him and his firm an international reputation, while his four volumes on the history and practice of typography are considered classics.
"Irene Tichenor´s authoritative No Art Without Craft is very welcome indeed." Terry Belanger.

Moser, Horst:
Surprise Me. Editorial Design
Mark Batty Publisher, New York 2003. 288 pages. 4to (32,5 x 25,5 cm). Printed laminated card covers. Dust jacket. Profusely illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. With indexes of magazines and names. New copy.
"Magazines have changed the world," opines art director Horst Moser. To prove his point he combed through his personal collection of more than a million magazines from around the globe to create this dynamic visual analysis of editorial design. Echoing the famous challenge from designer Alexy Brodovich of Harper´s Bazaar to his design team—"Astonish me!"—this book looks at surprising, astonishing, and inspirational examples of virtually every aspect of magazine and editorial design. Moser provides more than 1500 graphic examples with an overview of the conceptual design process. "Horst Moser did what I wish I had done," writes Véronique Vienne in her preface. "He offered his extensive collection of contemporary magazines to readers in the form of a book. Written to appeal to designers as well as non-designers—editors, entrepreneurs, marketers—Surprise Me is not encumbered with insider´s jargon.... His thorough understanding of the process, combined with intriguing juxtapositions of layouts, no-nonsense comments, and original insight make for an entertaining read—as surprisingly fresh as the subject matter he is presenting."

1000 Icons, Symbols, and Pictograms. Visual Communications for Every Language
Rockport Publishers, Beverly 2009. 320 pages. Square 8vo (23 x 23 cm). Stiff laminated covers. Profusely illustrated, mainly in colour. New copy.
Pictorial symbols are, in some respects, superior to words as a form of communication. If well-designed, they can be understood by people of all different races and cultures and can be recognized by children literally years before they learn to read. Symbols can be identified more quickly than words, making them especially useful in situations where fast reactions are required (e.g., control panels in airplanes.) As a result, symbols are of the utmost importance to graphic designers and their ever-present challenge to create effective visual communication for their clients. This collection of designs provides a virtual catalogue of ideas for designers to look to for creative inspiration. No matter what type of job or client presents itself, designers can view the work of 1000 other talented designers to find unique and distinctive elements and influences.
