<div>Hello! I'm a bit of a linguaphile. Not only do languages and their structures interest me, but also their scripts and writing systems. Hence, I have an interest in typography as well, though I've not spent much time learning about it. <br/> <br/>Now I need to do so, as I am self-publishing a book. So, I'm learning about book design, layout, margins, the history of the book, and all sorts of other interesting aspects of the process (yes, I'm a geek, and yes, this is fun!). <br/> <br/>Here is my request: I need a font for the main text of the book. I want a serif font, with a bit of an "antique" feel to it (no irregularities, just an "older style" font). I want old-style numbers, ligatures, and small caps (hence, an expert set). I want a true italic of the same font (a true bold wouldn't hurt, either). I'm not sure of the exact point size yet, but it will be in the 10-11 points range. <br/> <br/>If I had the money, I'd get Adobe Garamond and be done with it, but my wallet currently echoes if I yell too loudly. If I can't find what I want in the next couple of months or less, I'll save up and buy that, as I really enjoy that typeface. That should give you an idea of what I'm looking for, as well. <br/> <br/>Any help would be appreciated. If you know of a cheaper font than Adobe Garamond, that would be great to know. Please excuse any mis-statements and my lack of typographical knowledge; I'm new to this, but I'm learning! :-) <br/> <br/>Thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://bookdesign.tribe.net">Book design</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>Hello! I have just recently joined this group, and I am looking for some assistance. I have previously taken a book making class, and learned how to do book binding. I also have made photocopied zines and many delicate hand made books that were more artful than readable. I have been given an opportunity to teach a book making class to senior citizens, and if the class is successful, I will be able to continue teaching. Next Spring I would like to teach an organic paper making class. What I need help with, is devising a simple syllabus that will be straightforward for senior citizens. I want the components of the class to be both simple, and focused on allowing the students to be creative with their projects. I want to ensure that paper layout is straightfoward, and that binding methods are not too complex. Any suggestions? Book suggestions? Links? All help is appreciated! </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://bookdesign.tribe.net">Book design</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>hey guys, <br/>I'm in the middle of designing an accordian book. The pages are folded and glued opposite eachother to create the accordion (make sense? I wish i could draw a picture..) I've been using a glue stick for the dummy model, <br/>but I'm wondering if there's a better, stronger, longerlasting, archival adhesive for the final edition, that won't wrinkle the pages?? <br/>any suggestions?! <br/> <br/>oh! I also need some suggestions for a sturdy paper that would work best for letterpress and silkscreen, that can take the glue, and also be stitched. <br/> <br/>I appreciate all and any imput!! <br/>thanks</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://bookdesign.tribe.net">Book design</a> - 10 replies </div>

<div>I have a 130 book due as my end of semester project. Anyone know where I can bind it? I would prefer hardback binding of any kind (saddle stitch, library bound, etc). <br/> <br/>The thing is, is that I need it done in a week. I don't mind paying rush fees, as long as I have something to turn in. <br/> <br/>My book specs are 150 something odd pages. 70lb linen paper. 8x8" size. <br/> <br/>I know it's pretty impossible, but do you guys have any ideas?

I am mailing these books to artist around the world, they elaborate on them and send them back to me, I am working on finding a gallery to show the completed works, but combinding them all into one reproducable book would be ideal. This is the first time I have mailed out books, I have done postcards before and I have made several artist books, so I decided to combind my two endeavors.

<div>My favorite binding that I have seen for modern books, particularly softcovers, is the "repkover" lay-flat binding. <br/>The pages are sewn together in such a way that you can bend the spine >180 degrees and the pages will not fall out; in fact you are encouraged to do this so that eventually the spine will not tend to "collapse" the pages when open. <br/> <br/>We first started using this binding for manuals published by a small non-profit I used to work for in 1992 or so. 11 years later I still rarely see this for anything other than a handful of computer manuals. Is anyone else here familiar with this binding? If so, why is it not more commonly used?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://bookdesign.tribe.net">Book design</a> - 1 reply </div>
