Review
        	
        	
        		
        			&quot;He suffers from a surfeit of ideas. In the past decade, Mr. Mendelsund has designed about 600 book jackets, ranging from a sober, sophisticated cover for Tolstoy&#x2019;s &apos;War and Peace&apos; to his whimsical Pop Art-like treatment of Kafka&#x2019;s novella &apos;Metamorphosis,&apos; to the hypnotic fluorescent swirls on Stieg Larsson&#x2019;s thriller &apos;The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.&apos;&quot; -The New York Times&quot;&apos;Cover&apos; is foremost a visually enticing tour of some of the most important books of recent times, made even more memorable by Mendelsund&#x2019;s daring covers. The beautifully designed volume is nicely paced with a mix of testimonials from authors whose book covers Mendelsund has designed, along with his own comments on various aspects of the design process.&quot; -The Washington Post&quot;Among book designers, Peter Mendelsund is the best reader of all. You always recognize one of his covers when you see it, and it&#x2019;s not because he tends toward certain colors or typefaces&#x2014;quite the opposite. Rather, it&#x2019;s something about the way the cover illuminates the text. You can tell he didn&#x2019;t just read the manuscript; he internalized it. The result somehow feels both inevitable and surprising: the only possible solution but one you could never dream up yourself.&quot;&#xA0;-Bomb&quot;&apos;Cover&apos;&#xA0;provides insight into the designer&apos;s process and pushes us to reconsider what we think we know about the graphic representation of words and ideas.&quot; -New Republic&#x201C;Once in a while I&apos;m presented with covers that cross the barriers of cultural reference and visual language. That feel universal. That feel like perfect starts to stories. Covers that I don&apos;t want the reader to forget, but to carry with them throughout my books. Those covers are Peters Mendelsund&apos;s covers.&quot;-Jo Nesb&#xF8;, author of&#xA0;The Snowman &#x201C;Upbeat and thrilling to look at, his designs are works of art, and at the same time they encapsulate the writer&#x2019;s truest goal.&#x201D;-Nicholas Fox Weber, author of&#xA0;Le Corbusier,&#xA0;and&#xA0;The Bauhaus Group &#x201C;Peter Mendelsund is a true artist.&#x201D; -Ben Marcus, author of&#xA0;The Flame Alphabet &#x201C;Peter Mendelsund has the ability to visually and conceptually distill a narrative in such a way that it seems effortlessly inventive, striking, smart, fresh and yet classic. And he does it again and again and again. How I hate him.&#x201D; -Chip Kidd &#x201C;He&#x2019;s the exact visual correlative of what I think contemporary literature should be, but usually isn&#x2019;t doing.&#x201D;-Tom McCarthy, author of&#xA0;Remainder
