This richly illustrated book presents stunning food-related books that showcase special editorial design, from the aspect of jacket, typography, or food-styling techniques. The first part introduces some classical formats that many designers use, with clear, detailed explanatory notes; the second part features a variety of creative and original formats not commonly seen, which could definitely attract more readers. Finally the book presents several award-winning works, most of which are winners of the Gourmand World Awards. This title is destined to be a design bible for professional designers and students of design alike.
