Praise for The Look of the Book:
The New York Times Book Review
“A book about books that deserves a spot in every bibliophile’s collection.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A welcome reminder of what a rich canvas book covers offer to designers, and how influential a role they can play in establishing a relationship between title and reader.” —Creative Review
“Books about graphic design tend to stay on the surface, but this book dives deep, illustrating the dialogue between design and writing, and proving that book covers will always carry more cultural nuance than first meets the eye.” —Bookforum
