New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I am working on a project to design two sets of religious books. One set will be meant for travel, and one set would be meant to be used at home. Each set will contain 5 or 6 books, with an eclectic combination of prose, poetry, scripture, and artwork.
Does anyone have examples they can share of well-designed books of this sort? I have seen some books designed by Bruce Rogers, and I love his clean style and generous use of white space.
More information:
Thanks!

My favorite Bible is small, leather-covered (fold over at the edges—whatever the technical term for that is), 19th century letterpress, King James, set in a solidly leaded Scotch, very thin paper. It's a package alright.

Have a look at Scott-Martin Kosofsky's Mahzor for the High Holidays, discussed in this thread.
