Africa, book Collection
Book Design

This book, 'Africa,' is part of a larger collection I compiled for a private collector who owned a beautiful, extensive library primarily focused on nature and hunting. I organized the collection into large sections dedicated to continents (America, Asia, Europe, Africa), as well as a special section dedicated to nature written before the 18th Century.

During my time at this library, I photographed, compiled, and designed the books, while also learning a great deal. I became particularly interested in binding, pagination, and the overall quality and value of books.  Eventually, I even began purchasing books for the library myself.

It was two years of quite solitary work, completely different from anything I had done before or since.








All parts of the book description were designed so that Author Name, Title, pagination, synopsis were easily distinguishable.




A Second book, dedicated to pre-18th century books.


A section of the book solely dedicated to book covers.



Part of the library where I photographed all the books in the library
