This ever so delightful graphic was created by Katya Mezhibovskaya and it was her gift to Art Director John Gall on his last day at Vintage and Anchor Books. It’s pretty funny and we’re sure it will always remind him of, not only his fellow co-workers, but the good times he had there as well.

The text reads:
The Royal Court of John Gall, Duke of Vintagery.

Printed on the twenty-second day of June in the Province of Epson Jet Proof by Katya Mezhibovskaya, Countess of Photoshop.
With - Loreil Olivier, Mark Abrams, Katya Mezhibovskaya, Peter Quach, Carol Carson, Linda Huang, Brian Barth, Megan Wilson, Cardon Webb, Mary McClean, Jason Booher, Chip Kidd, Kelly Blair, Peter Mendelsund and Jenny Pouech.

Presented here are just a few random “Book Lover” Humor Photos we have come across while wasting our life on the Internet. The one that says, “Never Judge a Book By It’s Movie” is so true. Remember this simple Life Rule, “The Book is Always Better Than the Film”.

They say that “Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery”, so I thought this would be a fun idea for a post. Chip Kidd is pretty well known for creating the logo used for Steven Spielberg’s JURASSIC PARK Movie. Well, actually he had first designed it for the Book Cover to Michael Crichton’s novel that the film was based on and then Universal Pictures optioned it for the use as their Official Movie Logo, cool! It was a big part of the movie, not only for Advertising, Billboards, Movie Posters, etc… but it was also featured prominently IN the movie because it was the “Logo for the Dinosaur Theme Park” and they kind of made a point about the evils of mass-marketing ( Lunch Boxes, T-Shirts, Mugs, etc. ). Anyway, the rest is history and this classic logo has become sort of iconic. So much so, that there have been a million parodies! Here are just a few… for laughs, ha ha! Enjoy.

Here’s a random Book-Humor Photo we recently came across that is both kinda funny & actually very interesting. Well, you be the Judge, ha! It shows a few actual Typewriters that were owned by some famous Authors. Our 2 favorites are Cormac McCarthy and Hunter S. Thompson. Of course we heard that Ernest Hemingway guy is pretty good too!

As if being included on the New York Times Best Seller List was not honor enough, the NYT website also published a very funny Comic Strip by Grant Snider that is sort of “Chip Kidd related” and also totally hilarious! It’s a BINGO Card designed around the ideas & concepts of Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 Book. Now, if you look at the very bottom panel, far left-hand side… Chip Kidd Cover!! Hilarious!! ( Thank you Grant Snyder & NYT ).
