*5200 $aThe eight issues of Octavo, journal of typography, published in the 1980s and 90s, have acquired cult status. The book has been designed and edited by two of Octavo's original designers and editors - Hamish Muir and Mark Holt. And, as with the journals themselves, the book uses high-end production techniques to faithfully reproduce the original publications. The book also documents covers and spreads from the full-scale working prototypes made by 8vo during the design process for each issue of Octavo. Subscription cards and subscription card mock-ups are shown at full-scale. The notorious eighth issue of Octavo (the 'interactive' CD-ROM) is also documented, including its packaging, as well as the content itself through a selection of actual-size screenshots (640×480 pixels).

Octavo, International Journal of Typography, was published between 1986 and 1992. It has long been unobtainable. Designed by design studio 8vo, Octavo has acquired mythic status. Copies sell for exorbitant prices and only rarely become available.

Octavo Redux has been designed and edited by two of Octavo's original designers and editors. The book features all the covers and spreads from each original printed issue of Octavo, reproduced at actual size. The book also documents covers and spreads from the full-scale working prototypes made by 8vo during the design process for each issue of Octavo.
