A thoughtful book designer should understand the content of the book and find an appropriate approach to graphically communicate the content to readers. The design of the book and its content should respond to and resonate with each other. While proportion, typography, dimensions and colour are still very much integral, today’s book designers are increasingly realising the importance of details such as white paper in its various shades and tactile qualities, its weight, the mixed smell of ink and paper and unusual binding techniques. Book Worm showcases book designs from 56 top international designers who inspire with their ingenuity, vision and imagination.

In informal interviews with 60 of the region’s best-known designers like Peter Opsvik, Front and Ilkka Suppanen, writer David Sokol explores the past and future Nordic identity, the exigencies of local manufacturing, and the global marketplace.
