Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the development of the design and composition of the book, as well as the styles through which the visual presentation of the book passes from the 15th century to the present day. The focus of the research is the transformations of the oldest media and the complex and non-linear visual development of the book. Highlights include overviews of issues such as constancy, continuity, and consistency in book design, the role of the grids and modular systems, as well as the historical background of contemporary postmodern design with all the transformations of the environment affecting the compositions and visual packaging of books.
