Diario de AzuLES es el reflejo de una pasión cromática, pero también el relato cotidiano de Ales, apelativo con el que llaman a Alejandra G. Remón las personas más cercanas. En estas páginas la autora nos ofrece un paseo íntimo por su universo más personal, libre y verdadero (no en vano el azul es el color de la libertad y la verdad): aforismos, reflexiones y poemas que hablan de nostalgia, placeres sencillos, sueños, incertidumbres y deseos.

John Baskerville was a maverick lacquer maker and printer in Birmingham, a flamboyant dresser, a key figure in the enlightenment. Though it earned him little money, he was obsessive about both his typeface and its appearance on the page, using a new form of paper to show it at its best. His perfection culminated in his Bible, acclaimed as the finest ever made. The story encompasses one of the first women of typography, his wife Sarah Baskerville, and the many typefaces the Baskervilles inspired.

The story of Albertus is one of displacement (designer Berthold Wolpe was a German Jewish refugee who went on to design the masthead for The Times), but also one of permanence, for it has proved a fresh, vibrant and indestructible face for almost a century. In this unique celebration, the designer's children reveal the history of its creation and erratic brilliance of their father, while the book grapples with one of the fundamental artistic questions: what makes great art not only survive but flourish in each new age and medium?
