My view of book publication
Books
Developing, writing, researching and designing a book is a very long and arduous process that often takes several years or longer. Once this work is done, most authors begin the sometimes frustrating and very often unsuccessful search for a suitable publisher.
I don’t publish many books, but whenever I am entrusted with the design of a book project, I refuse to compromise on production. Discussing cheap formats, thinner paper or black and white content with a publisher for cost reasons is something I dislike.
Few books become bestsellers, but a great book will always be an invaluable source of information and inspiration and should be respected and appreciated from day one and given the longevity it deserves – in part through its design and appearance.
