📖 The Spaces of Bookselling: Stores, Streets, and Pages by Kristen Doyle Highland Publisher: Cambridge University Press Series: Elements in Publishing and Book Culture "That the “nook and cranny” motif is so often evoked in the context of the bookstore highlights both a dominant spatial typology of the bookstore and a conceptualization of the role of the bookstore as an intimate domesticized retreat removed from the insistent demands of modern time. Counter to the demands of the day and the modes of modernity, the corners of bookstores invite slowing, stillness, and seclusion." Half of the message of this post is: if you are fascinated by the world of book creation and distribution, consider reading "The Spaces of Bookselling". To me as an ebook enthusiast, it is a helpful text about the area in which ebook infrastructure currently fails very visibly: creating an atmosphere conductive of discovery. Another half is: keep an eye on the "Elements in Publishing and Book Culture" series by Cambridge University Press. It is an ongoing stream of concise, competent, and invariably helpful studies on a variety of questions. "Space as Language: The Properties of Typographic Space" by Will Hill is among the most recent additions. "Innovations in Digital Comics" by Francesca Benatti is coming soon.

The Gutenberg Bible, printed by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany around 1455, marked the dawn of a new era—the age of the printed book in Europe! This masterpiece, also known as the 42-line Bible, was the first book ever printed using movable type in the Western world.

In our 5th-semester publication design project, we had to design the layout of the book. This book not only showcases our design skills but also the artistic talents of my classmates. We all had to write poems and make an artwork on "Fighting Depression". I titled the book "I Will Rise Again" as it conveys a message of hope and recovery. It reflects the individual's determination to overcome the darkness of depression and emerge with renewed strength and optimism. #PublicationDesign #Fightingdepression #Layoutdesign #Booklayouting #Artworks #Illustrations
