Spector Books publishes books at the intersection of art, theory, and design. The Leipzig-based publishing house explores the possibilities offered by an active exchange between all parties involved in the book production process: artists, authors, book designers, lithographers, printers and bookbinders. The book as medium is turned into a stage, a site of encounter and productive exchange.
Finding innovative approaches to the medium today calls for a well considered interplay between the content, design and materiality of a book. National and international awards are an indication for the success of this approach: four awards for best German book design, three for best Swiss book design, cneai= Paris publisher prize in 2011, Saxonia state award in 2012 and Best Book Design from all over the World bronze medal in 2013.
