NEUTRAL COLORS Special Edition Let's talk about the real book #1
A publishing company/magazine/printing and binding company run by editor Naonori Kato.Special issue of NEUTRAL COLORS.
This book, which follows last year's guide to publishing art books in Japan, "How to Book in Japan," features interviews with 24 people, including Japanese booksellers, designers, litho studios, and publishers. Like its predecessor, this is a must-have for anyone interested in art books, publishing, and the bookselling industry, or aspiring to work in these industries. It also includes an interview with the owner of IACK.
"Why do we make books? Why do we sell books? Let's talk about real books. We will get to the heart of book-making, which is usually cut out from interviews. It is not a beautifully decorated string of characters, but raw data like handwritten letters written late at night, that is the message. It was compiled during an 11-day residency at the ON READING Gallery in Nagoya." (Excerpt from the publisher's text)
