Through interiors as well as covers, designers provide structure and information that shape the meaning and experience of books. In \u003ci\u003eThe Design of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, Debbie Berne shines a light on the conventions and processes of her profession, revealing both the aesthetic and market-driven decisions designers consider to make books readable and beautiful. In clear, unstuffy language, Berne reveals how books are put together, with discussions of production considerations, typography and fonts, page layouts, use of images and color, special issues for ebooks, and the very face of each book: the cover. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Design of Books\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to readers and directly to books' creators--authors, editors, and other publishing professionals--helping them to become more informed partners in the design of their projects. Berne lays out the practical steps at each stage of the design process, providing insight into who does what when and offering advice for authors on how to be effective advocates for their ideas while also letting go and trusting their manuscripts with teams of professionals. She includes guidance as well for self-publishing authors, including where to find a designer, what to expect from that relationship, and how to art direct your own book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Throughout, Berne teaches how understanding the whats, hows, and whys of book design heightens our appreciation of these cherished objects and helps everyone involved in the process to create more functional, desirable, and wonderful books. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebbie Berne\u003c\/b\u003e has been a professional book designer since 2002 and has designed hundreds of books and book covers.
