As I become more and more interested in book cover design, I felt it was appropriate to document the work of one of my favourite designers in this area. Peter Mendelsund is an internationally celebrated talent in the publishing industry. He has created covers for some of the contemporary literary greats, including Stieg Larsson, Peter Carey, Martin Amis and Tom McCarthy. His work is always beautifully crafted, intelligent and original.
He is currently associate art director at Knopf and art director at Pantheon Books, and he features his work and discussions on the subject of design at jacketmechanical.blogspot.co.uk.
