Manss has got a bit of a reputation as a book designer. Not surprisingly, given that his books are so good. His handling of the design of an architecture book I wrote for Phaidon impressed me greatly.

Things are very organised. Dieter Rams' Vitsœ shelving lines the walls: the floor is occupied by big five-legged drawing office tables that Manss made out of blue-laminated chipboard.
