Structure of the Visual Book"Structure of the Visual Book discusses how to conceive a book of pictures as a an original experience rather than reproducing a collection of existing pictures. Group, series and sequence are discussed as the means of pacing and orchestrating the book. This expanded fourth edition has almost twice the number of pages of the previous edition and includes 453 photographs of books by 145 contemporary book artists from around the world."--From back cover. |
