Interesting picture angles, modern typography and pleasant paper create a totality which is a delight to browse. These stories are cozy and interesting. The exciting binding and inventive frontispiece give direction to the stories: not worshiping iconic form but personal, touching – and so today.

A book about G. A. Wallin’s expeditions to Egypt has been given an elegant design. The work’s wide-ranging material is well controlled and the illustrations skillful. The printing quality can only be admired. The colour range is harmonious, the paper pleasant and the typography subtle. The opening passages of each chapter are carefully constructed works of art.

Perfect graphic design for a non-fiction work. The chapter opening spreads are beautiful and bring the age of Agricola handsomely into the present. The additional colour of the refined typography gives structure to the text and is well-suited to the illustrations. The binding is faultless, the red-current of cover and binding paper makes one yearn for an autumn garden.

For many reasons an alluring book. The cover elements are made up of a harem bathhouse, classical typography as well as gilding and decoration. These elements, together with the beautiful typography, have brought about a clear and easy-to-read book. Seductive, erotic decorativeness and occasionally powerful colours to heighten the illustrations have been used to create the concept. Distinguishing certain stories from the text proper has been accomplished elegantly and with versatility.

Despite using difficult material the book has successfully compiled a history of the University of Industrial Arts student movement. The book’s substantial and sprawling pictorial world expressed with Arto Kyrö’s drawings gather together Tokyo’s 50 years into a living entity, which will attract others than interested parties.

The typography of this series of textbooks is deserving of applause, and will lead the secondary school student to be inspired by and interested in history and the environment. The pictorial narrative forms a totality of its own, but at the same time it brings the text to life with its sometimes startling descriptive approach.
