The challenge of this interior design was showcasing the beautiful full-color reproductions of weavings and keeping the production values high, yet appropriate for this illustrated scholarly monograph. Once the book’s design was approved by the very discerning author, the next challenge was working with the Italian printer that was selected via a competitive international bidding process. There were days during the pre-press approval stages that were a bit Fellini-esque. Colleagues frequently found me uttering “it’s madness!” during the manufacturing stage of the process. In the end, the finished books were beautiful. And I had learned how to manage Italian manufacturers.
