NB: Foreign shipping will cost extra due to weight - please inquire. 1st edition. - "In a career spanning more than forty years, Derek Birdsall has established himself as one of Britain's leading book designers. This practical, inspirational and educational book distils a lifetime's experience in designing books, and presents and discusses nearly fifty books he has designed, showing 360 spreads and covers, all in their original colours and to scale. The designs range from 1960s' Penguin paperback covers to a recent complete redesign of The Church of England's book of Common Worship.

The introductory section deals with the process of book design, from brief to deadline (which he calls the designer's muse) - and illustrates his ideas on formats, covers and spines, bleeds, silhouettes, maps, diagrams, and the commissioning of illustration and photography. An appendix includes an innovative metric grid system, specimen settings of his favourite text faces, and comparative settings in English and other languages. His biography is illustrated by his graphic work in other fields, and the bibliography includes books Birdsall has found useful or inspiring. "

New York & London: Rizzoli, 2009. 8vo hardcover with jacket. 304 pages. Including cd. Fine clean copy. "Over the past century, an art form has emerged that draws from the worlds of visual art and music. Sound art’s roots can be found in the experimental work of Italian Futurism, Dada, and later the Fluxus group and the pioneering efforts of the American composer and artist John Cage. In the wake of this groundbreaking work, sound art began to mature into a movement, and artists explored the interactive possibilities of sound and in turn created entirely new modes of experiencing and engaging with art. In this volume, the complete story of sound art is told by one of the country’s leading critics and scholars. The author traces the history of this form of art–highlighting the convergence of the indie world bands such as Sonic Youth with the art world–looking at the critical cross-pollination that has led to some of the most important and challenging art being produced today, including work by Christian Marclay, LaMonte Young, Janet Cardiff, Rodney Graham, and Laurie Anderson, among many others. About the Author: Alan Licht is an American composer, guitarist, music writer, and a widely respected figure on the experimental music scene. He is not only responsible for important album reissues, but was a member of the cult classic NYC bands Love Child and Run On. He currently lives in New York City. Jim O’Rourke is an American musician and producer, and most widely known as a member of the rock band Sonic Youth. Considered an expert on experimental music, he has scored films for Werner Herzog and Olivier Assayas." - An essential guide to sound art with CD with pieces from Bill Fontana ('Harmonic Bridge'), Steve Roden ('Rust'), Jean Dubuffet ('Terre foisonnante'), Destroy All Monsters ('Jam Smear'), Anthony Burr et Charles Curtis ('Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas' (1973-74) from Alvin Lucier) and Bernhard Gal ('57A').

Published by De Buitenkant, Amsterdam, 2021. 4to heavy hardcover. 335 pages, richly illustrated. Binding with minor wear, upper front corners lightly dented else overall a very good clean copy. 1st ed. " Gerard Unger's body of work presents a case study in the development of modern type design, unfolding alongside the rapid technological changes that have transformed typesetting and publishing during the last fifty years. After an auspicious initiation by making a counter-proposal to Wim Crouwel's famous New Alphabet (1967), Unger became a principal designer of new typefaces for the first digital type composing machine, the Hell Digiset. He attempted to design type specifically for the technology, specifying precise bitmaps instead of drawing outlines. Subsequent developments in font engineering allowed more subtlety into his designs, resulting in a series of classic typefaces that included Demos, Praxis, Swift, and the truly original sanserif cursive Flora. With the transition to desktop type-design systems, Unger began to digitize and market typefaces himself, scoring a particular success with the innovative, space-saving type Gulliver. Commissions for Dutch road-signs and for millennial celebrations in Rome led to further adaptable typefaces, such as Capitolium and Vesta. Christopher Burke documents Unger's career in type design, with numerous illustrations, but also examines his writing on the subject, which reflected a lifelong quest for the root of convention in reading and in type-forms. The book is completed by extensive appendices, including a reproduction and translation of Unger's exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum (1977), where he began to develop a theory of type design."

New York, 2004. 4to in original magazine wraps. Around 100 pages. Richly illustrated. Light edgewear but else clean and well preserved. Complete issue. BIDOUN: Arts and Culture from the Middle East, the first issue. "Since 2004, Bidoun has filled a gaping hole in the arts and culture coverage of the Middle East, pioneering a distinctive voice that is intelligent, critical, and original. From the beginning, Bidoun has served as a platform — for new questions, images, and ideas about the Middle East. Bidoun’s activities fall in three primary areas: publishing, educational, and curatorial. To date, our projects have included a range of pursuits: curatorial initiatives, educational programs, artist commissions, talks, tours, performances, books, an itinerant library, and an online archive of avant-garde media." - From foreword: "The landscape is changing; now institutional exhibitions are being outshined by smaller, independent productions. Young curators are being favored over the out of touch establishment and spontaneous art happenings preferred more than stuffy, formal functions. The Cairo Biennale, for example, was awash in the tired ideologies of identity and the “Role of the Arab” in today’s world — a theme that has been so overused that it has been pushed to the brink of irrelevance. Is this because Middle Easterners are tired of talking about who they are? No, it is because we are tired of other people telling us who we are. Instead of constantly being taken out of context by others, people are taking matters in to their own hands. From popular reality television shows like Arabic Big Brother to homegrown independent movies shot on DV, there is a whole movement of self-documentation. In this, our first issue, we try to bring together some of the people who are bringing these projects to the public. We Are Spatial because we are bringing the private into public space; because we are redefining the boundaries between inside and outside. We Are Spatial because we are transforming the spaces in which we work and live. We Are Spatial because, although we are spread all across the world, we try, in some small way, to come together here. Without judgment."

MIT Press, 2010. 8vo thick hardcover, with jacket 500 pages with 62 b&w photos, 1 b&w illus, 15 halftones. Excellent clean copy. First edition, hardcover. How technologies, from the mechanical to the computational, have transformed artistic performance practices: " technology's influence on artistic performance practices in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In Entangled, Chris Salter shows that technologies, from the mechanical to the computational—from a “ballet of objects and lights” staged by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1917 to contemporary technologically-enabled “responsive environments”—have been entangled with performance across a wide range of disciplines. Salter examines the rich and extensive history of performance experimentation in theater, music, dance, the visual and media arts, architecture, and other fields; explores the political, social, and economic context for the adoption of technological practices in art; and shows that these practices have a set of common histories despite their disciplinary borders. Each chapter in Entangled focuses on a different form: theater scenography, architecture, video and image making, music and sound composition, body-based arts, mechanical and robotic art, and interactive environments constructed for research, festivals, and participatory urban spaces."

Inner hinges a bit week, but holding firm. Previous owners fine bookplate made by Povl Christensen (Else Fahnøe). Overall a very well preserved and very attractive copy. ""Old Christmas" (First published in a separately 1876 and identical to this copy) is a collection of five Christmas "sketches" by Washington Irving from his famous Sketch Book - A beautifully produced Christmas book which captures the essence of a Victorian Christmas. It describes Irving's experiences at the English country estate of Mr. Bracebridge during the "coaching days" of the early 19th century, focusing on the sights, sounds, smells and traditions of "Old" Christmas. In spirit it hearkens back to the Middle Ages -- before the "peasants" had learned to read newspapers or were talking politics at the local pub, when manner lords opened their halls for the local folk to feast in a show of gratitude, under the watchful stare of painted ancient family crusaders and armored statues. This wonderful account has a tangible sense of realism mixed with romanticism and the comforts of tradition.Drawings throughout are by Randolph Caldecott, a prolific and famous children's book artist of the 19th century. The pictures bring the book to life, we see the exact "physiognomy" and "countenance" of the many curious Dickens-like characters, the scenes of feasting and dancing, the old English kitchens, the stage coach, the dress and mannerisms of a "Coachy" - priceless details that effortlessly transport the reader back in time". - Washington Irving, one of the first Americans to achieve international recognition as an author, was born in New York City in 1783. His A History of New York, published in 1809 under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker, was a satirical history of New York that spanned the years from 1609 to 1664. Under another pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, he wrote The Sketch-book, which included essays about English folk customs, essays about the American Indian, and the two American stories for which he is most renowned--"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Irving served as a member of the U.S. legation in Spain from 1826 to 1829 and as minister to Spain from 1842 to 1846.
