Book design

It is all a delightfully imaginative jeu d’esprit, and the catalogue itself is a handsome piece of bookmaking.”

— Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
(review of Imaginary Books)

“At the outset let me say how attractive a book this is… indeed, a pleasure to handle.”

— B. J. McMullin, Script & Print, (review of
Field & Tuer, The Leadenhall Press)

Book design (cover and text) has been an area of special interest for me for a long time, beginning with annual reports and corporate and nonprofit publications.

I have designed many books for Oak Knoll Books and Press (one co-published with the British Library), as well as their anitquarian and publishing catalogues. From 2015-2020 I was Managing Editor of the Press.

Book/catalog and poster designs for “Imaginary Books,” an exhibition at the Grolier Club (2024) and the Book Club of California (2025).
