Author Description

The complete collection of the magazine which preceded Spector Books Spector Cut + Paste was a magazine as permanent workshop; the beginnings of what would later become Leipzig-based publisher Spector Books. It was in these pages that Spector's editors discovered the themes that still emerge in their publishing program today; here that they learned to balance artistic and publicist practices; here that they began to combine texts, images and typography into their own formats and to explore the content-based aspects of visual design. Four issues were published between 2001 and 2008, and they are now available in bundled form here.
