Photographer Victor Schrager is a master at reinventing his visual vocabulary. This book explores the world of books as volumes of their own, stripped of identity and context—freed of their literal meanings and messages—he releases them into the world as bouquets of color and structure, form and composition. His library becomes a luminous landscape to inhabit; his architecture is ideas. Our role as designers on this project was a simple and straightforward one: get out of his way!

A beautiful book about the beauty of the book form. Typographically free cover and unembellished cloth self cover underscore this idea. Interior design lets photographs shine. A book of photographs of books that ask, how do we see books? For these books, no words are necessary.
