Publishing as the Critical Practice of Graphic Design
This book surveys contemporary instances of critical micropublishing.
The publishing taken up by such ventures is entirely controlled by the
designers-as-publishers, along with a small group of collaborators.
Design, production,
and distribution roles are restricted so as to be minimally influenced
by outside concerns. As a result, the form and content of each book, zine, or
pamphlet can be critically and self-reflexively about the practice of design and publishing.
