We’ve just finished illustrating this book cover for a new edition of Ruby And The Stone Age Diet by Martin Millar. Published in the UK later this year by Piatkus.

I’ve spent the morning admiring this new publication from Unit Editions, which tells the amazing story of Polish design magazine Projekt. Lovely. Highly recommended.

We are extremely honoured (and surprised!) to have won the Best Cover award at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2011 for our work on Super Sad True Love Story. Many thanks to Granta for giving us the chance to work on such a great book!

Here’s a quick peep at our book design for Anna & The Juniper Dog, written by our dear friend and colleague, Geoff Cox. This books marks part two of the Anna trilogy following Anna & The Witch’s Bottle published in 2010. All illustrations by Rohan Daniel Eason. Available now from Black Maps.

We have several bits’n'bobs included in this new book from Gestalten, The Modernist (and rather nice it is too).

Book launch tonight at the Horse Hospital in London. All welcome.

The black colourway of our Lucifer T’shirt for Sixpack France has popped up in this new book focusing on type-based T’shirt designs.

The book is out now, published by Index Books. ISBN: 978-84-92643-55-4

+ If you’re interested, Sixpack still have a few of the black T’s on sale here (The blue version and the jacket have all gone for now though).

Haunted Air is a beautiful new book by Ossian Brown, featuring his collection of anonymous Hallowe’en photographs, lovingly resurrected from garage sales and junk shops across America. The images are both chilling and intriguing, and remind us of a time when this Pagan tradition meant something far more than selling themed goods. There’s a foreword by David Lynch, and (more importantly) a rather poetic afterword by long-time La Boca friend, colleague and inspiration, Geoff Cox (described as “ornate and bejewelled writing” on 6Music a couple of weeks ago). Essential viewing/reading we think.

Available at Amazon now.

Here’s a book cover we’ve designed for Super Sad True Love Story, a new sci-fi novel by American writer Gary Shteyngart. Text on the cover is printed in a lovely rainbow foil, and we twisted a few arms to get an all-over print on the reverse inside flaps. Published in the UK on September 2nd by Granta.
