Book Design Awards 1969-70 BOOK DESIGN AWARDS AUSTRALIAN BOOK PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION 18 The Judges The Judge/ Report Leslie Apthorp Entries for Book Design A wards this year were disappoint­ TYPOGRAPHER ingly few, perhaps because so many well-designed books are now printed out of Australia and are therefore ineligible. The standard generally was disappointing. It showed little Dr Andrew Fabinyi, OBE if any improvement on previous years. Australian book design, PUBLISHER after a belated Great Leap Forward from the shabby amateur­ ism which long characterized it, seems to have lost some of its creative vigour. Too many of the books submitted this Cyril Pearl year, especially by University Presses, merely repeated an un­ AUTHOR distinguished, if competent, standard attained years ago. Some, alas, did not even achieve this. Very few books displayed that synthesis of imaginative de­ sign, appropriate format, functional typography and sound craftsmanship which judges, year after year, optimistically seek and seldom find. Often there was a lack of harmony between jacket, end­ papers, and title page, and between these and the content of the book, the result in some cases, no doubt, of having the jacket designed by one person and the rest of the book by another. There were few striking jackets. Here is a field offer­ ing infinite scope for imaginative and compelling treatment which is curiously neglected by many Australian publishers. Golden opportunities are often lost, too, by the use of plain paper for endpapers, or by repeating the same endpaper de­ sign at the front and back of the book. Book design, in terms of these awards, goes beyond the appearance of the book. It includes, of course, the mechanical as well as the creative elements in book production-printing, binding, plate-making and type-setting. Nevertheless, the books selected and commended as those best designed and printed in Australia in 1969 do show those qualities of originality and imagination which have given the Directions to Judges Australian book a physical identity of its own. They will be, at the international exhibitions to which the books chosen each year normally find their way, respectable The objects of the competition are: representatives of Australian book design and book printing. (a) to focus the attention of publishers, printers, and the public on the importan ce of having well-made Austra­ lian books; (b) to improve the standard of book design in Australia; and (c) to improve the standard of craftsmanship in all stages of book manufacture in Australia.

It is not necessarily the object of the competition to encourage the production of special editions (although these will naturally be considered on their own merits and within their own special category), but generally to improve the overall standard of design and production in the Australian published book. The judges' special attention is drawn to school text and technical, scientific and tertiary educational books in which a higher standard is desirable though difficult to achieve, and therefore the more meritori­ ous when it is achieved. Before examining each book in its category, the publishers' entry form should be read. This will show the approximate number of copies printed, its retail price and any special com­ ments made by the publisher that should, perhaps, be taken into consideration. The entry form also shows the method of printing, etc. Vetting of entries, eligibility or correct category AUSTRALIAN WRITERS AND THEIR WORK: classification of books will be decided by the Committee and DOUGLAS STEWART are not the responsibility of the judges. by Nancy Keesing In assessing the individual books the judges are to consider Oxford University Press the design, production, and suitability of the dust jacket, case, binding, preliminary pages, text, illustrations, and Designed by MURIEL EYRE, with the series cover designed by materials used.

  • Special Catalogue 21
    Special Catalogue 21 Marbling OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Special Catalogue 21 includes 54 items covering the history, traditions, methods, and extraordinary variety of the art of marbling. From its early origins in China and Japan to its migration to Turkey in the 15th century and Europe in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, marbling is the most colorful and fanciful aspect of book design. It is usually created without regard to the content of the book it decorates, but sometimes, as in the glorious work of Nedim Sönmez (items 39-44), it IS the book. I invite you to luxuriate in the wonderful examples and fascinating writings about marbling contained in these pages. As always, please feel free to browse our inventory online at www.oakknoll.com. Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow, making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Today, Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 25,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children’s books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy — plus books about the history of all of these fields.

  • Book Handout for Class.Indd
    Book Binding from a 1496-1599 Example HL Rhiannon Redwulf The Primary Source: The OSU library has a very small collection of rare books. Their copy of Epistole Sancti Hieronymi is available for view- ing, and has received no recent “repairs”. In March of 1999 I was able to study and photograph the binding of this book. On the Epistole Sancti Hieronymi, half of the spine is visible, and the inside endpapers have been ripped out long ago. While making the volume less valuable monetarily, these features make it possible to study the binding methods used without tearing the book apart. The Epistole was printed by press onto paper. It was produced from 1496 to 1599. The copy at OSU has not been dated any more closely than that. (However, the copy has an errata which may help me identify it more closely. The last page of the book should read 390, however a typesetting error occurred and it reads, 930.) Paper was introduced to England in the mid-1300s and by the 1400s there were many paper mills. The Epistole is an example of the more affordable books made available through this invention. Because books were no longer as rare, the bindings evolved to be simpler than previously done. I Back views of the Epistole Sancti Hieronymi (1496-1599) Notice the tooling on the half binding, and the remains of the straps and brass pieces which once allowed the book to be strapped shut. (A holdover from parchment books which had to be strapped shut to remain flat. This is less necessary with a paper book.) Inside front cover of the Epistole: (above) Notice that the reinforcement strip on the first pages are recycled parchment pages, (with hand calligraphy on them.) The edges of the wooden cover are beveled to the width of the pages.

  • Three Basic Book Repair Procedures - 1 | Back
    Three Basic Book Repair Procedures - 1 | Back By Carole Dyal and Pete Merrill-Oldham Introduction Hinge Tightening I Hinge Tightening II Tipping-In Loose Pages Conclusions - References In libraries large and small, minor repair is a critical component in overall efforts to care for collections of books and journals. Bound volumes mended as soon as they show signs of damage may never require more complex repair or binding. A book with tightened hinges is sometimes more sturdy after treatment than it was at the time of purchase. Following are instructions for carrying out three basic cost-effective procedures for repairing hard-cover volumes. They were prepared to accompany all- day demonstrations presented at the 1998 Annual Meeting of the American Library Association in Washington, DC. The Library of Congress generously offered space in the LC exhibit booth in support of this pilot project. It focuses on early intervention as a means of delaying or eliminating the need for more time consuming and expensive treatment. This project was made possible through generous support from Acme Bookbinding (Charlestown, MA), Bridgeport National Bindery (Agawam, MA), Conservation Resources International (Springfield, VA), Gaylord Bros. (Syracuse, NY), Information Conservation Incorporated and the Etherington Conservation Center (Brown Summit, NC), the Library Binding Institute (Edina, MN), Library Binding Service (Des Moines, IA), Ocker & Trapp Library Bindery (Emerson, NJ), SOLINET (Atlanta, GA), and University Products (Holyoke, MA). Hinge Tightening I Inspect the hinge of the volume at the head and tail to see if the text block has become loose in its case. If the endpapers are pulling away from the inside of the case but are still securely attached to the text block, Hinge Tightening I may be an appropriate treatment.
