Designing books: practice and theory - Hyphen Press 2007

A concise introduction to practice and to ideas that can inform the practice of designing book. Opening the work, Hochuli declares his position: for a non-dogmatic attitude, embracing traditional and modern, symmetical and asymmetrical approaches - whatever is appropriate for the content and for the reader. At the core of the book is a revised and extended version of Hochuli's earlier booklet ot this title, in which he sets out the considerations that can inform the design of books. The book concludes with a survey of Hoculi's own work: pages from a career of over thirty years are shown, with detailed comments by Kinross. Made to the best Swiss standards, the book lives up to its own arguments.
