Some bookish links:

I got my grubby mitts on Theo Inglis’ new book The Graphic Design Bible, and it looks like an essential addition to the studio reference library, sitting happily alongside his brilliant Mid-Century Modern Graphic Design.
Given that they publish the excellent The Age of Collage books, I was a little confused by the title of Gestalten’s Collage … which isn’t about collage. Still, it looks great – showcasing outstanding female-presenting photographers who have been shortlisted or nominated for the Prix Pictet, the leading global award in photography and sustainability. The cover, with a picture by Italian photographer Yvonne de Rosa, is particularly striking.
“Janet Halverson’s jacket is not violent. And it’s not exactly ugly. It’s just … pathetic. And weak. And awful – and I can’t look away. I also can’t bring myself to spend time with it. I find it so upsetting. It is … amazing.” – another cracking post from The Book Cover Review, Michael Russem on the weirdly brilliant 1968 cover for Jeffrey Frank’s The Creep.

Dropping to my knees and doing my best Charlton Heston at the sight of Jamie Keenan’s cover for Greg Jackson’s The Dimensions of a Cave. Now there’s a cover meeting I wish I was around for.
