The State of Print – Fully Booked

Street Fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham once said, “We’re in the age of cookie-cutter sameness.” However, it doesn’t just apply to how people dress now, it has also befallen on books. To be precise, e-books. “The death of print” is probably a statement that we heard one too many times. But is it really dead? For much of the e-books out there, the interaction between the content and user still relies heavily on how one would interact to a physical book – especially through the way one flips a page. Why the nostalgic adherence to print if it is already a thing of the past? demonstrates how print can still be relevant and far from being out of touch in this digital era. , Creative Director for Penguin Books, said, “The most interesting thing of is it’s promoting books that are really creative, as a priority.” It is a collection of books and other printed products that showcases the creativity of print, be it in material, techniques or workmanship. The book is divided into five parts, namely: The Storytellers, The Showmaster, The Teacher, The Businessman and The Collector. Though print is nowhere near its death, , Book Cover Designer acknowledged that books  “have to work harder to justify their physical presence. And then there’s the e-book, the hybrid. We’re at a point where anything is possible. And we haven’t reached the answer yet. We haven’t found the ultimate e-book. It’s just all there to explore.” So until then, books are here to stay.
