本书收录了关于书籍设计的深刻见解，从平面设计师的角度探讨了书籍的视觉、触觉和文化层面。

本书收录了五十篇由 Formal Settings 的 Siri Lee Lindskrog 和 Amanda-Li Kollberg 撰写的关于书籍设计的文章。这些文章选自柏林概念书店兼活动空间 Hopscotch Reading Room 的私人藏书，每篇文章都聚焦于一本书，从材料、版式到装订和字体，探讨其视觉和触觉特性。“我们的目标是通过设计的视角理解书籍的角色和潜力，描绘它们通过物理形态所传达的信息。” 

作者引导读者深入了解书籍设计的精妙之处，展现形式如何转化为信息——书籍如何既是载体、又是宣言，本身也是一件艺术品。他们将每一本书都视为一件设计作品，并将其置于其诞生的文化运动、政治环境和经济条件下进行考察。本书揭示了书籍设计如何促进语言和文化的共通，如何为思想的交流与探索创造空间，以及如何凸显设计本身的社会和文化维度。 

设计师、作家兼教师 Prem Krishnamurthy 撰写了后记，进一步阐述了该项目的背景和见解。

Insightful texts on book design that explore the visual, tactile, and cultural aspects of books through the perspective of graphic designers

Fifty readings on book design, authored by Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg of Formal Settings, unfold across the pages of this volume. Drawn from a curated selection of titles in the private collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room – a conceptual bookshop and event space in Berlin – each text focuses on a single book, examining its visual and tactile qualities, from materials and layout to binding and typography. “Our aim is to understand the role and potential of books through a design lens, mapping what they communicate through their physical form.” 

The authors guide readers through the intricacies of book design, showing how form can become message – how a book can serve as a vessel, a statement, and an object of beauty in its own right. They explore and examine each book as a design object, situating it within the cultural movements, political climates, and economic conditions in which it was produced. This publication reveals how book design can foster shared languages and cultures, create space for the exchange and exploration of ideas, and underscore the social and cultural dimensions of design itself. 

With an afterword by designer, author, and teacher Prem Krishnamurthy, providing further context and insight into the project.
