Designers & Books

Designers & Books is an advocate for books as important sources of inspiration for creativity and innovation. We do this by publishing lists of books that esteemed members of the international design community identify as significant, meaningful, and formative, along with interviews and articles. We also present public programming and book fairs, support reissuing of out-of-print design classics, and sponsor other online and offline initiatives in support of the design book community.
