Julio Cortazar, 1980
Alfred A. Knopf
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780394507217
For this compilation of short stories, Fred played off the book’s title with his typography. The letter forms are defined solely by their drop shadows. Through a glow, we’re looking up at the title, and down at the author’s name.

Barbara Pym, 1980
Harper Perennial
First Edition, Paperback
ISBN: 9780060805128
Fred was a big fan of Barbara Pym, and loved designing jackets for her novels. They usually dealt with British women of a certain age, lonely, intimidated, and irretrievably polite at all costs. Her work is often described as updated Jane Austen, as his illustration suggests.

Farrar, Straus & Giroux
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780374145798

-
Phyllis Grosskurth, 1980
Alfred A. Knopf
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780394501505
The subject of this book, born in the hey-day of Victorian Britain, bravely took on the task of writing frankly about human sexuality in all of its dimensions. When dealing with a straightforward biography such as this one, Fred often chose to confine his artistry to typographic design, while allowing photography to just do what it does best. To tell it like it is.

Eric K. Goodman, 1980
Holt, Rinehart and Winston
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780030471667
When Fred designed record album covers in the 60s, he had nothing to go on except the title, often the name of the first song on Side A. For this novel’s jacket, he chose to literally translate the title of the book into visual form, through use of an elegantly designed photographic montage.
-
Ronald Sanders, 1980
Holt, Rinehart and Winston
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780030194115
Fred’s art scholarship was vast. He mastered visual styles from far and wide, century by century, country by country. For this book about the legendary Kurt Weill, he enjoyed reflecting the typography of Germany in the 1920s and ‘30s.

Happily, this is a work of fiction. A small fissure has opened up in a rock located in the middle of Central Park, which forewarns of a volcanic explosion that will cause the entire city’s destruction in hours. Fred's illustration simply tells it straight, there's the rock, the spewing steam, and skyscrapers in the distance.
