EIGHTY YEARS OF BOOK COVER DESIGN

As part of Faber's eightieth anniversary celebrations, Joseph Connolly -book collector, antiquarian dealer, and acclaimed novelist - has compiledan impassioned guide and love letter to the designers, artists and authorsat the heart of Faber's design story. From its beginnings in the 1920s and1930s on to the classic years of innovation under Berthold Wolpe after theWar, and from the celebrated period of collaboration with Pentagram on tothe modern day, here is, as he concludes in his preface, 'a lavishcelebration of the art and beauty of these magnificent covers, from justthe first eighty years'. 'Following an enlightening history of Faberitself, there's also an appreciation of Berthold Wolpe ... there's a wealthof great work here ... the covers are lovely to look at.' Creative Review
