Para Ser Eterno Basta Ser Um Livro — Editorial e Design do livro em Portugal no século XX [To Be a Book is to be eternal — Editorial and book design in Portugal in the 20th century]
A book about books: "To Be a Book is to be eternal - Editorial and book design in Portugal in the 20th century" is a catalogue that aims to show in detail the exhibition of the same name, on show from May 4 to October 27, 2024, at Casa do Design in Matosinhos.
"Of all the ways to use books, exhibiting them must be the strangest". Alice Schreyer's phrase sets the challenge for the exhibition, but also for the book itself, which aims to be a unique and precisely eternal document, to go beyond the exhibition itself. It functions as a kind of archive, containing the books on display, plus the necessary chronology of 20th century publishers.
