Im Rahmen dieser Webseite
kann nur ein kurzer Überblick über Salters Beitrag zur Buchkunst
des 20. Jahrhunderts gegeben werden. Wenn Ihr Interesse dadurch angeregt
wurde, dann empfiehlt sich die Einsicht in gedruckte Quellen, die ausführlichere
Darstellungen bieten. Das eine reichillustrierte, zweisprachige Buch über
Salters Berliner Zeit ist von Jürgen Holstein, Georg Salter:
Bucheinbände
und Schutzumschläge aus Berliner Zeit, 1922-1934; Georg Salter:
Book Bindings and Dust Jackets from the Berlin Period, 1922-1934 (Berlin:
Jürgen Holstein, 2003). Der Band enthält eine ausführliche
Bibliographie der Literatur zum Thema Buchumschlag.
Das andere Werk zum Thema ist eine ausführliche Darstellung von
Salters Leben und graphischem Werk in der Berliner Zeit sowie in der
Emigration: Thomas S. Hansen, Classic Book Jackets: The Design
Legacy of George Salter (New York: Princeton Architectural Press,
2005). Das Werk, das aufgrund von Quellenarbeit in Archiven in den
USA zustande
kam, enthält ein ausführliches Werkverzeichnis von Salter’s
Buchumschlägen und dürfte insofern Bibliotheken, Buchhändlern
und Sammlern nützlich sein.
