Q & A with Ellen Lupton on Casualoptimist.com · May 5, 12:59 PM
Casualoptimist.com recently posted a lengthy interview with Ellen Lupton, author of many Princeton Architectural Press titles including the just published Indie Publishing: How to Design and Produce Your Own Book.
Here’s what Kottke.org says about Indie Publishing: How to Design and Produce Your Own Book:
“Someday I’m going to make my own book, from start to finish. It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for awhile, a physical parallel to building a web site from scratch. When I do, Ellen Lupton’s Indie Publishing will be my guide. At 170-some pages it’s not exhaustive, but the book does briefly touch all the bases: typography, cover design, binding types, and examples of several different types of books. There’s also a section on handmade books with hands-on directions for making your own book — folded books, stitched pamphlets, or stab bound — without having to visit the printer.”
