It's particularly cool to read this extraordinary book as a librarian --so many of the books covers inside are familiar and recognizable as the popular works. I'm purely amazed at how this book, which could come off as Chip Kidd's scrapbook of celebrity encounters instead reads as a humble offering. It's probably the best chronicle of the last 20 years of graphic design in the united states and it comes across as modest, approachable and endlessly fascinating. (

It seems unusual when a book designer gets co-author status, but that’s been the case with two of my recent reads -- Caz Hildebrand’s The Geometry of Pasta and Chip Kidd’s True Prep. So when I noticed Chip Kidd: Book One (1986-2006), a collection of book covers he’s designed at Knopf, I snagged it through inter-library loan.

Kidd joined Knopf when Robert Gottlieb departed for The New Yorker and Sonny Mehta arrived. He writes that he mostly designs hardcovers because they’re enduring and he can wonder, “What will something I work on look like in [x] years?” And he likes that “the luxury [of a hardcover] extends to the intellect as well as the wallet.” (I quite agree.)

In an Introduction, John Updike wrote that “Kidd reads the books he designs for and locates a disquieting image close to the narrative’s dark, beating heart.” This big coffee-table book has easily a thousand of those designs (including rejections) plus notes about their backstories and evolution, and often authors’ comments. The covers are diverse and memorable -- I’ve seen a lot of them, I’ve owned and/or read many of the books, and now I’ve added some new ones to my wishlist. (

Chip Kidd is a graphic designer. 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.
