Hochuli, a Swiss designer and typographer, makes the argument that book design should not be driven by strict ideologies or dogmas, but rather respond to the content and context of the individual book. The authors  then launch into a deep exploration of the technical aspects of book design and typography. An excellent manual on the finer points of designing books.
