-from the publisher
This is a bibliography of books selected by participants in the Werkplaats Typographie program at the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, Nederland. Each participant provides a short statement on how the selected books are important to their practice as designers. The opening lecture by Paul Elliman is exemplary, as it spins out Mary Shelley’s famous tale in all it’s bibliographic consequence.
