Structure of the Visual Book (Expanded Fourth Edition)

The media could not be loaded.

This is a little more advanced than those that are learning, but once you know the grid and how to make and break the grid, I think that this only contributes to a graphic designer’s kit.

I recommended this book to another artist interested in working with the book form and when I came to amazon.com to send a direct link I couldn't believe there is only one review for this book. This is a classic in thinking conceptually about the structure and sequencing of a book, as well as thinking conceptually about what a "book" is as an artifact and an artform.Although the text is a little intuitive for linear readers at times, anyone who wants to explore the book as an artform must take a look at Keith Smith's work.

typical college book

This was a great book if you want to read the history of Keith Smith. It was well written and very informative. I wanted a book on his stitches and how he created the individual stitch on each book. Recomend for anyone wanting information on his personal and perfessional life. He is a master in book/journal creation.

ok

I freaking love this book.

I was pleasantly surprised. I expected a book full of bookmaking methods from a review I saw on another site but as another reviewer here points out, it strives to make the reader think first, and then, after understanding what they are trying to achieve, THEN make books. Inspirational.

Really happy with it. Exactly what I wanted. An intellectually stimulating book from a master for people who are interested in bookbinding or books in general.The seller was fast and responsive.
