This custom size was chosen to give the photography the maximum space on the pages with a decent chunk of white space above and below. The 198 inside pages into 170gsm create a 15mm spine which is ideal to add the title and author’s name on a strong black background.

A Collector's Dream Book

This is a collector’s dream and the sheer completeness of the archive is overwhelming with many iconic names, artists and works featured. Each has a credit underneath in an italic font. This is a good graphic technique and allows the reader to instantly have an appreciation for what they’re looking at. Double page spreads are filled with an image on both sides to draw in the audience and keep them engaged throughout the book.

Another New York book took a lighter route. 152 892 pas, Antoine Sorel’s square New York photo book, is perfect bound from 78 pages of 115gsm FSC uncoated under 300gsm silk cover stock, matt laminated, and still prints its title and Antoine’s name down the spine.

As a nice touch at the back of the book, the author is seen featured with a lot of huge names from the scene. Ex Why Zed was lucky enough to print this second edition decades after the original.

Most zines are A5: 148 x 210mm, the size you get when you fold a sheet of A4 in half. It became the default because it is cheap to print, goes in a coat pocket without fuss and fits every zine rack, but it is one size among many, and the right one for yours […]
