General Knowledge gathered together articles written by Stephen Bayley over a period of 20 years. The book uses different typographic designs for each of the 16-page printed sections. Consequently, a text spanning two thread-sewn sections would change style mid-sentence.

The cover typeface – Julian Morey’s VMR – was derived, appropriately enough, from the delivery notes attached to WH Smith’s magazine and newspaper bundles.
