The Fascinating, Complicated Art of Designing a Book Cover

Cover to Cover, a new book from Penguin Classics, is the closest I can get to looking at pornography in the office. I've stared at it for hours, flipping back and forth between covers I've passed a hundred times in bookstores and covers I've passed a thousand times on my own shelf. The book itself is a model of beautiful design—wide pages with a combination of text and imagery so pleasing that those like me—with a layman's understanding of graphic design— can only offer some vague guess that it has something to do with that golden ratio people talk about.

Gradual Migrations: Literary Execs Trade Park Slope for Clinton Hill for $1.11 M.

Much has been made of Brooklyn's status as a literary haven and hotbed. And it is indeed in Brooklyn that many of New York's remaining brick-and-mortar bookstores persist. Fitting, then, that Paul Buckley and Ingsu Liu should make their home there, for they, as artistic directors—at Penguin US and W.W. Norton and Co., respectively—must have reason to fear, perhaps even more so than writers, the demise of the physical book.
