Book design is a process of visualizing the text. The material composition of a book is established by packaging, folding, hiding, cutting, and other design techniques according to the ideas it carries inside. The process of book design includes the analysis of the form and visual effect of the book in the front-press, mid-press, and post-press processes. It is an artistic design including format, cover, layout, materials, binding and printing technologies.

Reading gives life to books, and book design adds beauty to reading. Designers need to consider the transmission of text information and think about those sensory information that cannot be clearly labeled in text form. Excellent book design is to build a bridge of spiritual communication between the author and the reader, so that the book content and design are perfectly presented. Therefore, the readers' cognitive world is built.

The book focuses on the unique structural design of books, while accompanied by a wealth of work cases, a detailed analysis of the overall text reading structure, narrative language, materials used, printing technologies, and other aspects of each book work, to bring readers an extraordinary visual feast of book form and design.
