Nabokov, again.

Are Nabokov covers required to be drop-dead gorgeous? I posted in February about some really lovely ones designed by John Gall. This new batch from Pentagram features the work of Angus Hyland and a team of illustrators.

My favorite is definitely "Look at the Harlequins".

To see the rest, visit the Pentagram site.

Kubrick

Today is bittersweet for me, it was my last afternoon babysitting and tomorrow is my first day of my very own grown-up job. For some reason the pink tones in this book seem bittersweet to me as well. So today feels like an appropriate time for this post.

I know there's been a lot of hubbub lately about Kubrick's photography career, but this book was actually released back in 2005.

According to the Pentagram blog, the beauty was designed by Angus Hyland and his team. Of course, always wonderful work by Hyland.

The book is available through Phaidon in English, French and German.
