Five Hundred Years of Book Design | |||

| Alan Bartram | ||||
| British Library 2001 192 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0712347372 300x165mm | ||||
| Published Price £15.00 | Our Price £6.99 | |||
| What decisions lie behind the way a book is designed? And what can we learn from a study of the books produced in previous centuries? In this handsome and generously illustrated volume, the distinguished book designer and typographer Alan Bartram provides a personal view of some of the successes and failures of his predecessors of the past 500 years. From early Italian books imitating manuscripts, to 1940s designs by Jan Tschichold, Bartram's succinct commentaries on sample pages look afresh at classic books, paying particular attention to readability, clarity and function. | ||||

Bookplates by Beilby & Bewick: A Biographical Dictionary of Bookplates | |||
| from the Workshop of Ralph Beilby, Thomas Bewick & Robert Bewick 1760-1849 | Art | |||
| Nigel Tattersfield | ||||
| British Library 1999 354 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0712345086 245x168mm | ||||
| Published Price £60.00 | Our Price £25.00 | |||
| Thomas Bewick is famous for his natural histories, but less well known is the commercial activity by which he supported his writing: the busy engraving workshop in Newcastle upon Tyne run by Bewick, his partner Ralph Beilby and, later, Bewick's son. Of the vast range of ephemeral work it produced, bookplates have survived the best. This volume describes and illustrates several hundred of these bookplates, providing a wealth of biographical information on their owners, and making an important contribution to the social history of the North of England. | ||||
