Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book design [...] though largely forgotten today, methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books these rules have to be brought back to life and applied. Richard Hendel describes book design as an arcane subject and refers to the need for a context to understand what that means.
