SUMMARY:Book Design for Editors

Designer Debbie Berne will talk about how a deeper understanding of the ideas and mechanics of book design can help editors do their work better and create better books. \nTopics will include \n\nImagining the manuscript as a finished book\nPrinter’s specs are design\nHow a book’s title affects its cover design\nWhat you don’t know you don’t know about fonts\nDownton Abbey and the significance of space\nLine length\, ragging\, and a defense of hyphens\nAnd everyone’s favorite subject: the table of contents\n\n[event will be recorded] \nDebbie Berne is a longtime Bay Area book designer. Her book\, The Design of Books: An Explainer for Authors\, Editors\, Agents\, and Other Curious Readers\, will be published by University of Chicago Press in Spring 2024 as part of their series Chicago Guides to Writing\, Editing\, and Publishing.

SUMMARY:Linking the Past\, Forging the Future: Conservation of a Medieval Chained Binding
DESCRIPTION:In our digital age\, it’s hard to remember (or even believe) that books were once so rare and costly that they were kept chained to the shelves. But even chains cannot protect a centuries-old book from the wear of time–and many hands. When a chained medieval book in Stanford Libraries’ collection needed repair it took a group effort to conserve the book and create a model of this unusual binding structure that could stand in its place for use by scholars and researchers: a group at the intersection of scholarship\, conservation\, and craft. Join us for a virtual panel discussion with Kathleen Smith\, Aude Gabory\, and Karen Hanmer as they discuss their collaboration across disciplines; see the resulting facsimile\, and marvel at the thought\, art\, and skill that went into creating it.

SUMMARY:How to Sell More Books Using Metadata
DESCRIPTION:Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Apple\, Kobo\, and Google Play all run on algorithms\, but each of them is different. Each provides their own tools to authors to help them become more visible to the right readers. But how is an author or small press to know what works best where? And how do you even decide whether to publish on one platform\, or “go wide” by publishing on many? Whatever you decide\, your metadata—the little details you enter in your book’s upload form—feeds the algorithm. In turn\, this can make or break the success of your book. \nUSA Today bestselling author and instructor Shelley Adina will take you through each retailer\, pointing out which algorithms work where\, and which tools are aimed at visibility for your books versus visibility for you\, the author or publisher. She will also talk briefly about selling direct on your website\, a strategy more and more authors are using for greater control of their business.

SUMMARY:New Leaves: The Cherokee Syllabary in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:The year 2021 marked the bicentennial of the Cherokee syllabary\, the writing system for the Cherokee language invented by Sequoyah. Today\, it remains integral to the culture and identity of the Cherokee people and is\, like the language itself\, in the midst of concentrated revitalization efforts. Join type designer and Cherokee Nation citizen Chris Skillern on a walk through the history of the syllabary and its adaptation to new technologies. Then get a glimpse at what the future may hold for the syllabary. \nChris will share some personal work and talk about the difficulties of designing modern type families for a script with few models. See the exciting work that’s being done today to appeal to a new generation of language learners and to carry this remarkable invention into the future\, and hear Chris’s personal story of an ongoing journey toward fluency\, in both language and design. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Before Baedeker: Travel Guidebooks to 1840
DESCRIPTION:The late 19th century has been labelled the “Baedeker Era” after the famous series of compact\, bright-red travel guides published simultaneously in German\, English\, and French. The Baedeker guides’ trademark characteristics – systematic\, impersonal\, regularly updated\, in a portable format packed with practical information and complementary maps – have served as a template for all subsequent guidebooks up to the present day. \nBut how did this specialty format develop? In a talk based on original research drawn from his personal collection spanning 1600 to 1840\, Bill Newlin will trace the evolution of early travel guides\, beginning with itineraries of Italy and France written by and for tutors escorting young noblemen on the Grand Tour.

SUMMARY:Freedom in Restriction: My Journey with Kufi with Joumana Medlej
DESCRIPTION:In this Letterform Lecture\, we will taste the visual power of a lost calligraphic tradition through one artist’s immersion in the early Arabic scripts broadly labelled as “Kufic.” Joumana Medlej uses examples from her work to illustrate the respective qualities of the two great strands of this family\, and how she harnesses its visual language to create compositions made of pure meaning. She will share how her journey towards an authentic understanding of the script revealed that it is defined not by an outside set of formal rules\, but by more elusive principles that can only be learned through embodied practice\, and in return allow greater creative expression. \nLetterform Lectures are a public aspect of the Type West postgraduate program. The series is co-presented by the San Francisco Public Library\, where events are free and open to all.
