 This unique, oversized book is a behind-the-scenes explanation of the publishing world. Bookmaking terminology is labeled and described, such as endpapers, fonts, bindings, and pop-up books. This book is made with a Swiss binding, where the inner spine of the book is visible, and the pages are glued only to the back cover, allowing the book to lay flat while reading. The book’s overview indicates the topics: the author, the editor, the illustrator, the graphic designer, the sales representative, the printer, the bookseller, the literary critic, the librarian, and the readers. The colorful pages are loaded with fascinating information, fun facts, and interesting characters. A helpful index is also included. Bright and quirky double-page spreads show every stage in the life of a book. mjw |
