For the Book Cover Review, Miho Aishima on her love for Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends. Aside from looking like Oscar Isaac in Ex Machina, the thing I love about Silverstein is his very particular attention to the design of his work. From wikipedia:

Silverstein believed that written works needed to be read on paper, with specific paper for the particular work. He usually would not allow his poems and stories to be published unless he could choose the type, size, shape, color, and quality of the paper. Being a book collector, he took seriously the feel of the paper, the look of the book, the fonts, and the binding. Most of his books did not have paperback editions because he did not want his work to be diminished in any way.
