Fusing word and image, as well as design thinking and literary criticism, this captivating investigation goes behind the scenes of the cover design process to answer this question and more. As the outward face of the text, the book cover makes an all-important first impression. The Look of the Book examines art at the edges of literature through notable covers and the stories behind them, galleries of the many different jackets of bestselling books, an overview of book cover trends throughout history, and insights from dozens of literary and design luminaries. Co-authored by celebrated designer and creative director Peter Mendelsund and scholar David Alworth, this fascinating collaboration, featuring hundreds of covers, challenges our notions of what a book cover can and should be.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 741.64 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.64 Mendelsund Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.64 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList
