Walter Walker, 1986
HarperCollins
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780060156466
Although on one level this is a taut murder mystery, it is more an exploration of morality and circumstance told from five points of view. Fred’s first edition jacket echoes the image he created for Walker’s earlier “A Dime to Dance By,” which also used stark photography.

Charles Dickinson, 1991
William Morrow and Company
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780688102258
Fred achieved an astonishing sense of scale and dimension for this novel’s jacket by using simple elements: two newspapers coming together with graduated tone, and type in bands of color. Look at the changing shapes as the shadows descend down the page.

Thomas Keneally, 1982
Simon & Schuster
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780671449773
When the movie version of “Schindler’s List” debuted in 1993, its success was so immediate that it might seem strange to learn that the fact-based novel upon which it was based first appeared as long as eleven years prior. Fred designed the original first edition hardcover jacket.
