"Fotomontage was een techniek die Piet Zwart ook toepaste bij het ontwerpen van boekomslagen, waarvan de meest bekende wel die voor de 'filmboekjes' zijn. Bij W.L. & J. Brusse's Uitgeversmaatschappij te Rotterdam verschenen tussen 1931 en 1933 tien deeltjes in de serie "Monografieën over Filmkunst", onder redactie van de jeugdige Mr. C.J. Graadt van Roggen. (...) Piet Zwart maakte zijn omslagen in twee kleuren, rood en blauw, maar verhoogde het effect door vaak ingewikkelde combinaties van fotomontage en dubbeldruk. Een vast terugkerend element is het woord 'film' en de titel van het boekje in een witte strook (...)" (Broos p.72). "Zwart's most important work for the publisher W.L. & J. Brusse of Rotterdam was a ten-part series of monographs on the film arts (...). These rank among his finest work, and bring into focus many of the earlier experiments. Montage and multiple layers of ink are used throughout. (...) The play factor reigns, and all stops are pulled out with every conceivable contrast - size, color, direction, shape, and number, as the images almost reach the realm of film itself" (Purvis p.77f). "Piet Zwart utilises a spectrum of cinematic imagery in his design for a series of ten monographs on new directions in cinema published by W.L. & J. Brusse in Rotterdam between 1931 and 1933. Zwart employed images of film-strips, movie cameras, and projectors, formal devices such as multiple exposures and overprinting, and frames from slapstick comedy to documentary films. He therefore summarized the cinematic and photographic ideas that influenced avant-garde page design during the 1920s and 1930s" (Andel p.299).

= "Suck" special issue. Very explicitly illustrated and with the following text on the final page: "Final instructions: This is not a work of fiction or of one man. Keep your eye on it's bi-unity. I am smiling now. But if you don't think my story marvellous and you should happen to meet me, kindly pass as though we don't know each other. Moral: "At the moment of coitus all men are one man!"" The concept was conceived by the photographer Anna Beeke as an anti-pornographic statement. Her second husband Anthon Beeke did the layout. Parr/ Badger, Photobooks III, 84: "This charmingly liberated fairy story is gleefully hardcore - The point of the exercise, after all. The pornographic photography itself is timeless, that is to say standard and a little boring, but the factor that makes this a classic of 1970's counterculture literature and the legacy of 60s' 'flower power' - where sexual liberation was seen as the beginning of political liberation - is the inspired graphic design of Anthon Beeke. Exuberant, wacky and excessive (...)."
