Behind the Cover of Peter Nimble ...

 

Recently, both my designer and cover artist have posted blog pieces talking about the process of making the Peter Nimble cover.   Illustrator Gilbert Ford walks through the process on his blog, including showing an early idea for a die-cut cover with psychedelic eyes!  Abrams designer Chad Beckerman continues the conversation, talking not only about the illustration ideas, but also the process behind settling on a typeface and selecting paper/foil for the hardcover casing -- definitely worth checking out!
