Re-covered Book 〈Oldies but Newies〉

〈Oldies but Newies〉 2021

What do you remember books as? Memory is an incomplete composition of many parts of a book, such as a story, weight, color, illustration, paper, typography, or barring. The pieces are mixed up again, and even if you read the same book, each person has a different experience. When you meet a book, the first cover you meet is an unforgettable piece. The Seoul International Book Fair shakes readers' memories through 〈Oldies but Newies〉. A book that comes out differently from its cover gives a new experience to readers who have already read it, and it goes beyond the distance of time to new readers and approaches them in a different sense.

We introduce books like long-loved steady sellers, all-time high-profile bestsellers, and hidden gems that readers didn't even know about through new designs, materials, and different production processes. 〈Oldies but Newies〉 is an opportunity to considerate how relationship with books and memories of books change due to changed components.

Now, here and again, meet this book.
