it's on the verge of being good...

Not big on motla either, interesting concept making the grid explicit, but in terms of it being effective I think it is lacking since every piece of work within the same section, the structure rotates or changes and the relationships between elements change. It is sort of counteracting one of the primary reasons for implementing a grid if you ask me.

I am not saying I love the redesign, but it's very nice.

don't want to sway this off topic, but the dutch post links reminded me, does anyone know which year Irma Boom designed one of the dutch ptt books, I have seen it before with the french folds and semi-transparent pages and her butterfly stamp artwork or postzegels i think is the dutch word.

not familiar with that one negative, but I do know Gutenberg Galaxie II was done in 2002, Light Years, was done [completed] in 2000, and the grandaddy of 'em all, the massive 2136 pg, SHV Thinkbook, which took like 6 years to complete, was finished in 1996...
That is all I know..

thx for the reply snuggles, i was just curious because one of my profs says they arent too hard to find on abe books, however, most of the sellers don't seem to list the designers so the year is all I have to go on. Apparently Karel Marten's also designed one of these books.

hmmmm, yeah I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the SHV book...
