'The Form Of the Book' and 'Every Book Starts With an Idea' - notes

-Each books main elements are text image and production
-If i follow or break modernist rules-why?
-'make it so perfect they want to spontaneously take it home'
-'Mistakes' of bad books are oversized square uncomfortably held books,pure white pages rather than ivory are too agressive, flat spines on thick books ruin inner pages, and vertical lettering on the spine is horrendous

-'Ideally, all books start with a question'
-'Rethink what a book can be'
-'Design and content must go hand in hand, balance the two'
-'keep dreaming'
-'creating books is a trial and error'-
there will be many mistakes made before the perfect book
