The Songs of Paul Simon

The Songs of Paul Simon

Charles Schmalz, New York, New York, 1972

Description

Here are the lyrics and music scores of all of Paul Simon’s work, with an illustrated back section on different paper stock showing the lyrics as poetry form.
Design limitations: Layout had to be carefully planned to conform to budget. Color had to be printed separately and bound in rather than running with text. Paper could not be fully coated. Size of scores dictated, to a large degree, the trim size of the book.

Collections: Fifty Books of the Year (1973)
Discipline: Book design
Format: Book
