520 8 This book displays and dissects the career and design
motives of graphic designer Joost Grootens. A monograph
that works like an atlas, it charts in a systematic and
neutral fashion the first 100 books designed by Grootens
in the past ten years. In the first chapter, '10 years',
Grootens uses timelines, lists and plans to trace the
course of his career as a designer, the people he works
with, the places where the work gets done. In '100 books',
the designer dissects his book designs. He recounts the
grids, formats, paper stocks, colours and typefaces, but
also charts the books' structure and composition. '17,358
pages' shows at actual size a number of spreads of books
designed by Grootens, including the internationally
honoured atlases. In the text 'I swear I use no art at
all' Joost Grootens gives a personal account of making
books and the ideas behind his designs.
