C’est juste un livre
C’est juste un livre (“It’s just a book”) was produced for the 14th Puces Typo, held on Saturday 25 May 2024 at the Campus Fonderie de l’Image in Bagnolet.
This publishing project prefigures Un livre est, a collection of quotations about the book object to be published by Électro-bibliothèque.
These extracts, most of them very short, are taken from a range of publications, both old and new, and provide a map of this everyday object from a number of angles: authorial, conceptual, editorial and material.
C’est juste un livre is typeset with typefaces from the Électro-bibliothèque catalogue, including such that are already released, like EB Trainer Grotesk, EB Reklame and EB Ackerhof (not shown), the proprietary Haut-Bailly, as well as such that are in preparation, like EB Hymne.
