WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS

My heart is racing.

I love food. I love books. I love book covers. I love type. I love colour.

Check these out, available from April 7, from Penguin. Designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Can she do no wrong?

BEAUTIFUL TYPE.

I feel quite startled.

I am literally in AWE.

Whilst helping a fiend...

I found this and thought it was just really nice. Well done Harper.

Zadie Smith is even fitter v2

Not only are her books amazing, but these covers are something to be proud to be seen holding.

I'm not sure who did the top cover, but I know that Si Scott did the other cover design.

In an interview, Scott said that "I wanted something that felt like Zadie’s writing. She’s quite cool, so I needed a font like that—without being flowery or too girly, it’s whimsical with a bit of an edge. That’s what Zadie’s got. Reading her stuff is not like reading Darwin, but it’s edgy."
