Many prophesied that the printed book would be doomed by developments in digital media.
Far from it! The book has not only survived, but - as tactile qualities have gained significance in our increasingly digital world - there is also more unhindered experimentation with bound paper pages now than ever before.
The materiality of the medium can give sensual emphasis to complex visual and textual content or appreciate its value.
Some content isn't even apparent until it takes the form of a real object - the printed book.
Fully Booked is devoted to current cover and book design.
It presents material from printed publications that succeed in striking a crucial balance - between the market's demands for availability, legibility and durability on the one hand and sophisticated visual and content design on the other.
By featuring projects in this experimental field that combine enormous creativity with skilled craftsmanship, Fully Booked also reveals trends in today's graphic design.
In addition, Fully Booked presents a choice selection of artist books.
Created by hand and printed in limited editions, these publications push the boundaries of conventional book design.
Fully Booked also has a unique book design of its own and is a turn-around book with one side focusing on cover art and the other revealing today's unprecedented experimentation with the creation of book design as artistic objects.

A new brand and identity for Tottenham has been developed by brand strategy and creative consultancy Lloyd Northover.
The Tottenham brand, has been created to close the gap between people's current perception of Tottenham and what it has to offer as a place to live, work and play - presenting Tottenham as a destination for business, living, shopping, culture and fun.
It was funded by London Borough of Haringey and the London Development Agency and led by North London Business, a sub-regional development agency.
The brand will be delivered and rolled out by the Tottenham Partnership, an initiative involving local businesses and the public sector, intended to drive business renaissance and promote sustainable economic regeneration by improving the image of Tottenham.
The Tottenham brand was developed by Lloyd Northover through a series of consultations, engaging with the local community and key stakeholders in order to better understand the aspirations of local businesses and residents, and creating momentum around the repositioning of Tottenham.
The brand builds upon Tottenham's unique physical and cultural connections to encourage more people to embrace and experience the rich variety of opportunities that Tottenham offers - business, cultural, educational, social, leisure and sports.
