While being "globalized" with the rapid economic growth, Chinese book design is developing its unique language. This issue features this most exciting scene of design to explorer possibilities between information and materials.
"Chinese book design is becoming more and more well known as design industries outside China realize its potential as an alternative model for areas like graphic design and book design that have been at an impasse in the face of industrial restructuring and globalisation. It is not just the look of Chinese books, but their actual fighting spirit that inspires." (from the introduction)
