Notes on Book Design is a collection of 50 texts by Amanda-Li Kollberg and Siri Lee Lindskrog of Formal Settings, based on books from the collection of the Hopscotch Reading Room in Berlin. The texts draw parallels between the book as a design object and the cultural movements, political landscapes and economic conditions under which it was created.
The 50 texts are paired with our introduction, a foreword by Hopscotch Reading Room and an afterword in which designer, author and educator Prem Krishnamurthy offers additional framing and perspective to the project.
The book was published by Onomatopee in an edition of 2,000 copies and is distributed worldwide through onomatopee.net. The back cover illustration is by John Seung-Hwan Lee.
