    Hand-bound special edition with numbering This extraordinary book depicts the design process with its infinite possibilities and decision-making processes. Often, it isn't a straightforward path as described in many textbooks; instead, it consists of many errors and dead ends, rules and regulations, setbacks, and many, many alternative approaches. Unfortunately, this long and winding path is often hidden from the observer of the final designed product. They only see the finished result and often wonder what's so difficult about it. The difficulty lies in the fact that, as the saying goes, everything begins with a blank sheet of paper. This blank sheet of paper must now be brought to life. There are numerous approaches to solving this design problem, which must be examined for their relevance to the content. I will attempt to visualize these approaches here. A book about a book is not intended as a textbook or guide for creating a "real" or functional book. In this case, the topic of book design is a means to an end. Its complexity makes it ideal for illustrating the numerous design questions along the development path, from the conception and design phases to the final printed product. The design of the book evolves, so to speak, as you read, from page to page, until it is finally completed. It begins purely by hand with the definition of the concept and proceeds through the various work steps such as formatting, typesetting, and typography, all the way to the topic of production-technical possibilities. The reader accompanies the creation and design process of the book they are currently reading "live," so to speak.
