Beautiful book profiling the illustrators of book covers and their work. Another addition to my collection on publishing history. ( ) This oversize book is perfect for flipping through and contains a wide array of gorgeous dust jackets. The book is divided into two sections: one that gives a chronological overview of the period covered by the book, explaining the history of the dust jacket, design trends and outside influences, and one that highlights individual artists. I particularly liked the wraparound dust jackets, which had a continuous image across both front and back covers. In some cases more than one artist had illustrated a dust jacket for the same book, and it was interesting to compare the two (e.g., the two instances of The Catcher in the Rye). I would recommend this for people who like to judge books by their covers. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"In the modern era, the beautiful book, an art object in its own right, has become the key to the ongoing attraction of print publishing as physical books continue to distinguish themselves from the screen. Author Martin Salisbury traces the evolution of the book jacket from its functional origins as a plain dust protector for expensively bound books to its elaboration as an artistic device to catch the eye of browsing book buyers. The increasing awareness of the jacket's potential to serve as a marketing tool across various areas of the publishing world--from literary fiction to academic titles, and children's books--meant a proliferation of illustrative treatments. The book jackets reproduced here reflect the changing visual styles and motifs of the passing century, beginning with the Art Deco period and continuing through Modernism, the playful Thirties, the pre- and postwar Neo-Romantics, the new consumerism and realist subject matter of the Fifties, and the Pop Art of the Sixties. Featuring talent from the US and UK, The Illustrated Book Jacket explores the pictorial dust jacket through a selection of more than 300 key works and artists that influenced the course of book jacket design." -- provided by publisher.
