Review was published in Parenthesis, Journal of the Fine Press Book Association.<br /><br />The review by Colin Martin, apparently a bookseller in Hull, UK was written based on having seen the exhibit during the "private view" at St. Bride and was clearly written from that perspective:<br /><br />"My feelings regarding contemporary bindings of private press books are ambivalent, so I entered the preview of the Designer Bookbinders' touring exhibition, at the St Bride Foundation in London, in a sceptical frame of mind. Why would one wish to risk gilding the lily with a contemporary binding?"<br /><br />He does raise good points about the challenges of exhibiting books in which the fine press content and the fine binding can't often both be displayed, as well as giving insight into the mysteries of a "private view" with auction... Likewise, in an exhibit like this it would be great if the edition bindings were displayed as well, including in catalog.<br /><br />In the end, I would encourage Mr. Martin to spend more time looking at fine bindings and how they can complement, even sometimes complete a fine press book. This would in no way lessen some of the stunning edition binding done for these fine press texts.<br /><br /><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1eGH1p97a4SYmpkenkwWG9ocUU&authuser=0" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1eGH1p97a4SYmpkenkwWG9ocUU&authuser=0</a>Peter D.

Thank you for your comment and complete agr...Jonas,<br />Thank you for your comment and complete agree with the points you raise regarding "the choice of distribution channel and media format would always depend on the intended outcomes of the publication." It's something I have been thinking about as well, as have colleagues at the library where I work. The Bonefolder provided a good excuse for experimenting with different delivery tools as it gets good readership and is a "closed" publication. One of the points raised in discussions between faculty and libraries is that Institutional Repositories (and most digital collections) are "dead" in that the content just sits there with no conversation/scholarship easily possible around them. I'd like to see if there are ways we can change that.<br /><br />Best, PeterPeter D.

I guess my comme...Interesting and timely question!<br /><br />I guess my comment would be that the choice of distribution channel and media format would always depend on the intended outcomes of the publication.<br /><br />If the aim is to convey as sense of awe at the well-produced and information-rich Bonefolder magazine? Then ISSUU is a good choice.<br /><br />Aiming to feed exchange and organic growth in a dynamic online community? Then go for fine-grained content (articles, images, individual thoughts rather than whole issues) and maximize shareability on major social media platforms.<br /><br />Or is the aim to provide an archive of useful learning and inspiration material for a largely non-digital community of professionals and hobbyists? Then keep the issue format, re-design archival browsing and retrieval for more up-to-date access methods, maximize searchability and shareability of individual articles in the archive, consider SEO efforts.<br /><br />My point would be that designing a distribution channel and a media format for online publication is always contingent on intended uses and intended users. That may be a fruitful place to start your exploration.<br /><br />Finally, on a personal note, I want to thank you for what you have already done. I have found the Bonefolder archive enormously useful and valuable, I have learnt a lot about bookbinding, and I have been inspired to several experiments with very pleasing results. Thank you!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Jonas Löwgren, Sweden<br />(amateur bookbinder with a daytime job as a scholar in interaction design and collaborative media)Jonas Löwgrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234085800600978781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454610721638033401.post-36876077558591756912013-05-02T11:59:15.790-04:002013-05-02T11:59:15.790-04:00This is a terrific written and very well-thought o...This is a terrific written and very well-thought out review.
