Presentation of the book "That's How a Book is Made", by Enric Jardí

• 8 February, 7pm
• La Central del Raval, Barcelona

On 8 February, Enric Jardí, coordinator of the Master's in Advanced Typography at EINA, is presenting, with Albert Corbeto, his latest book "That's How a Book is Made".

Why should we set a book in Roman letters? And why not? Why should we justify the lines? Can we justify them to the left? And the margins? Do they have to be equal or unequal? Do they have to be wide or narrow? Can we start a chapter on a left-hand page? Why not?

That's How a Book is Made sets out to answer these and many other questions. It explains why books have acquired their current form and how we can continue to make them in the twenty-first century. It isn’t a manual of rules, but an exploration of each element of the paper book, which has become a reading artefact that is hard to improve on.

This text has been designed for anyone interested in graphic design, publishing and books in general: from those who give form to text as design professionals and lovers, to those who write them or devote themselves to publishing a work, as authors, editors or proofreaders.
