If you've seen a book cover at Borders and gone "Ooh!" in the past ten or fifteen years, Chip Kidd is likely the guy who impressed you. Chip Kidd: Book One is a large and lovely collection of his work. I don't have a lot more to say about the book. It's beautiful, visually smart. It's the kind of book that makes me want to write a whole shelf of novels, just so Chip Kidd can design covers for them. He's that good.  subbobmail | Mar 29, 2008 |  Absolutely stellar! Chip Kidd's star has been on the rise for a few years now. You can't walk down an isle of fiction without seeing his handywork catching your eye. Kidd has achieved that place that all cover designers long to be. It's a lofty one where you are given enough room to really try some unorthodox things. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. This book covers Kidd's work up until 2005. It's fun to read about the process of putting these covers together. And even more fun to read the responses from the authors he was designing for. It's no surprise how many authors hate their covers initially, only to come around and see the brillance of the designs once they see their book pop off the shelf when compared to others. This is one of the few books Kidd has designed in and out, so it's a fun page turner. Lots of juicy layout and gorgeous photos. Highly recommended for those with an interest in book design.
