This is an advance copy of Pickathonography, the book I designed and produced in collaboration with photographer Tim LaBarge this spring. The printer we worked with on this book is so accurate with color that the experience of receiving the printed book is a lot different than it used to be years ago. Instead of finding out what the book looks like in print, you find out that the book looks just like you thought it did! This is, of course, very convenient, though it removes a bit of the thrill of receiving the printed piece. The spine, though... the spine is still a surprise. And this one turned out just how I wanted it to.

I was recently invited to take part in a project based on Taduesz Borowski's book of stories about his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp. Designers were asked to supply their own interpretation of the cover in order to create a larger body of work that would hopefully create discussion about how the holocaust is represented and mediated.

The introduction for this AIGA book begins with an excerpt from “Homage to the Book”, written by Frederick B. Adams, Jr. (former director of the Morgan Library).
This text is very interesting to read in 2008, when the exact future of books is in question. The opener begins with the question “Is the Book Dying?”
I would love to get a hold of this full book...but its quite pricey. But, “Homage to the Book” is also a winning entry in the AIGA Fifty Books 1968 volume.
