Chip Kidd’s New Book:
The New York Times profiles Chip Kidd, perhaps the only book jacket designer with name brand recognition, who has a new monograph out called Chip Kidd: Book One: Work: 1986-2006. Actually, it’s a profile of the house he shares with his partner but whatever. It gives you a lot on the man too.
Despite the steep price tag, this exictes the hell out of me. Kidd is best known for such memorable book jackets as Michael Crichton’s Jurrasic Park, David Sedaris’s Naked, and Augusten Burroughs’s Dry.
The holidays are coming up. Perfect for the book geek (me) in your life.
