Beautifully designed ReadyMade book by Shoshana Berger and Grace Hawthorne.
Written by the cofounders of ReadyMade magazine, this is a book of all original material that revolves around the reuse of six building materials—paper, plastic, wood, metal, glass and fabric. This hybrid of howto, editorial and historical content yielded a design that is simultaneously smart and fun, structured yet chaotic, sophisticated yet accessible.
In the spirit of ReadyMade’s reuse ethos, the book itself is a reusable object, with the spine serving as a ruler—inches on the front cover, centimeters on the back. Since the book’s content swings wildly from doityourself projects and scientific diagrams to lifestyle articles, historical timelines and random sidebar nuggets of information, we deliberately pushed ourselves out of the usual structural comfort zones of contemporary book design—limited typeface use, repetitive grid structure, white space—to see how much variety the piece could sustain and still be coherent. – Aiga

An upcoming graphic design book that I want! Arabesque, Graphic Design from the Arab World and Persia by Ben Wittner, Sascha Thoma, Nicolas Bourquin.
If you want a print version of this beautiful book, just buy the book!
Despite their rich tradition of calligraphy, the Arab World and Persia are not known for their contemporary graphic design, illustration and typography. Young designers are just beginning to chart their own compelling course between local visual convention and a modern, international style.
The book Arabesque investigates the creative potential of the Arab World and Iran. This book features examples of recent innovative and groundbreaking design work that is inspired by the richness of the region’s visual culture.
