Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Opposite to the prediction of its fall in recent years, physical books, by virtue of their particular "five senses" for readers, have unexpectedly maintained their popularity. Echoing this circumstance, Art In Book Form is born, as an anthem for physical books.

It shares with you the book design philosophy of LU Jingren (the Chinese book design master), Stefan Sagmeister (the design rockstar), and Hubert & Fischer.

The book also "unfolds" the history of book form in detail in front of you, in a more visual way, explaining both historical and modern book formats with diagrams and real pictures.

A selection of modern book designs is featured to enhance your understanding.
