the material presence of a book is lost when expressed through digital media. reading something on a monitor does not quite translate
the thinness or thickness of a publication, release the smell of its pages, allow you to understand its volume…
many features such as such as embossing, gilt edging, japanese binding, letter printing, paper texture are only experienced through print,
and so it is not surprising that a slew of contemporary designers, editors, illustrators, publishers and typographers are working to
re-establish the importance of the physical book.

gestalten's 'fully booked: inked on paper - design and concepts for new publications' brings together a collection of books and related products
which celebrate the distinctiveness of materials, production methods, techniques and workmanship, pushing the limits of these approaches
in the context of the medium of print. divided into five thematic sections: the storyteller, the showmaster, the teacher,
businessman and the collector, 'fully booked...' showcases a broad range of titles, from personal projects, limited edition titles,
artists books and brand publications, each one presenting unconventional subject matter or containing radical editorial
or design concepts, highlighted through the works of coralie bickford-smith, irma boom, deutsche & japaner, john gall, joost grootens,
julia hasting, heimann und schwantes, jung + wenig, konst & teknik, leftloft, made thought, peter mendelsund, niessen & de vries,
prill vieceli cremers, raffinerie ag, and studio laucke siebein, just to name a few.
