The French language edition, Moi, Charlotte Simmons:
Winner of the National Book Award
by Jincy Willett // Picador
• An AIGA's 50 Books // 50 Covers Best Cover Selection
Set in Rhode Island, Winner of the National Book Award tells the story of twins who could not be more different. Abigail Mather is a woman of passionate sensual and sexual appetites, while her sister, the book loving local librarian Dorcas, lives a quiet life of the mind. But when the sisters are sought out by the predatory and famous poet, Guy DeVilbiss, who introduces them to Hollywood hack writer and possible psychopath Conrad Lowe, they rapidly become pawns in a game that leads to betrayal, shame and ultimately, murder.
Darkly comic and satirical, Jincy Willett's Winner of the National Book Award is unnervingly funny and disarmingly tender whether she is writing about sex, literary delusion or Yankee pretension.

Break glass in case of emergency. This anthology collection is the emergency solution to people with problems.
I had a difficult time trying to make the book appear to be behind a sheet of glass. I added blownout glares and white gradients, but that just obscured the small type too much. My designers Rob Grom and LeeAnn Falciani came up with the idea of adding a reflection of a room on the edges of the glass. This gave it depth and placed it in the right setting. Spot gloss on the glass finished it up. Brilliant and subtle.

I never thought I would ever use the typeface Optima in a design. But this was the font chosen to honor the names of the fallen on the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial. So if it's good enough for the artist Maya Lin, then it's good enough for me.
