From Design Observer, December 29, 2005:
…but every once in a while, in what for me was then an act of madcap daring, I’d make an impulse purchase, and buy a hardcover book based on almost nothing more than the design of its dustjacket. When the gamble paid off, these were books I’d come to really treasure: usually novels, their authors unknown to me, the settings unfamiliar and exciting. I’ve saved them all, and I took an armful down from my shelf the other day. Loving Little Egypt by Thomas McMahon, The Lost Language of Cranes by David Leavitt, The New Confessions by William Boyd, The Twenty-Seventh City by Jonathan Franzen.
Wildly different books, with one thing in common. Fred Marcellino was the designer of all their covers…
The Pelican Chorus and Other Nonsense (HarperCollins Children’s Books, May 1995) has been re-issued in paperback.
