The Shelf comes from France and is published bilingual - French and English. It's a great new magazine in every way - beautiful paper, typography and images. It's about books, typography, design, publishing, print and covers.
In their own words:
"Why start a paper journal about books at a time when the internet is
calling into question the average Westerner’s innate materialism, and at
a time when the price of a book-as-object puts off devotees of free
knowledge on the net? What is becoming of bound volumes today - that
foundation of our society, those keepers of our history?
With the
dematerialisation of editorial content, the practice of design within
books is taking on an even more important dimension. Whether
insignificant objects or works of art in their own right, books create
through their different forms and stories a unique bond with those who
read, consult and own them. This almost physical connection was the
reason for creating The Shelf Journal.Part place of worship and reflection for paper lovers, part experimental platform for designers, typographers and other graphic designers, The Shelf Journal explores the essence of our libraries’ charm: the limitless variations in form of this unique object."
Nice design art work as always!I really like your creativity keep it up...
