Luca Pacioli: Ancient Double-Entry Bookkeeping, published by Mercury. @mercuryfi

A contemporary republication of John B. Geijsbeek’s 1914 English translation of Luca Pacioli’s landmark 1494 treatise on bookkeeping. Redesigned and newly typeset at the exact dimensions of the original 1914 edition, the book brings the translation together with original pages, diagrams and historical material in a new editorial structure.

Pacioli’s text was the first printed description of double-entry bookkeeping, codifying the system of debits, credits, journals and ledgers that became foundational to modern accounting. The subject has particular relevance for Mercury, whose financial tools for businesses are built on many of these same underlying principles.

The section-sewn hardcover features an exposed spine, silver foil typography and a violet-painted top edge, and is housed in a flexographically printed box.

Kid Echo, a new photobook by Park Sung Jin @parksungjinx published by @session_press / @miwasusuda.

Photographed throughout the early 2000s, the book brings together previously unpublished portraits of teenagers in Seoul and its outskirts, returning to the world Park first explored in Kid Nostalgia.

The hardcover is wrapped in a four-flap dust jacket.
Instead of page numbers, the book numbers the people themselves. Each subject receives a number, including each individual within a shared portrait, with an index connecting them to place and year.

Studio Lin designed TRÁNSITO, a full-color photographic monograph by Roberto Tondopó, published by Capricious.

Rooted in personal history and collective tradition, TRÁNSITO weaves together the death of Tondopó’s father — named Tránsito and born in Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas, Mexico — with the artist’s participation in the Fiesta Grande, a local celebration held in honor of Saint Sebastian. Central to the festival is the Chuntá tradition, in which men dress as women in a celebratory ritual of gender performance. By becoming a Chuntá himself, Tondopó offers both a tribute to his father and a reflection on mourning as metamorphosis.

The book’s interior pages have an untrimmed head, giving the object a more tactile and three dimensional presence. The cover features a photo that wraps around the top edge, and was produced in three variants, making each copy part of a limited edition of 500.

Studio Lin designed the fully illustrated catalogue for Martin Wong: Chinatown USA, the first U.S. monographic museum exhibition of Martin Wong since 2017. Spanning several decades of work, the book presents Wong’s plates roughly chronologically, with essays discussing each decade of his practice. A to-scale visual index gives readers a direct sense of the physical range of the work, while PMS yellow Magno Gloss sections — including multiple foldouts — contain supporting illustrations and contextual visual material. The book is constructed as a Smyth-sewn exposed book block with a folded poster jacket, extending the interior material language to the exterior.

La mostra a @panoramavenezia è finita ma il suo odore ritorna con ogni pioggia improvvisa. Se avete con voi uno dei 60 ephemera, lasciate che si bagni: ogni goccia ne rivelerá la fonte. E non temete, la sua traccia rimarrà vivida anche quando invisibile, pronta ad emergere ancora ovunque siate. ✴️ Salizada San Francesco 3155, 30122 Venezia VE
