Book Design (2016x14)

Air date: Jul 28, 2016

Our topic this time is book design. We explore every aspect of a book's physical properties: from the cover, to paper, printing and dimensions. The rise of the Internet and e-readers mean fewer books are being sold worldwide. In response many designers are playing with the qualities that make physical books such a pleasure. Book designer Shin Sobue is in the studio as our guide to the world of Japanese book design.
