| Describing book design Our description of the design of children's reading and information books focuses on features relevant to document structure and articulation of content, to typography at micro and macro levels of organisation, and with the material qualities of the books. These features are considered in relation to the contextual factors listed in the last row in the table on the left, in order to answer such questions as: - How did picture usage reflect change in printing technology?
- How were young readers encourage to engage with pictures in reading books?
- What typographic features did publishers think would sell reading books?
- To what extent is a particular method of teaching reading reflected through graphic configuration and typography?
