Check this out! Here’s the front page of the Dagens Nyheter Newspaper Culture section as it appeared on September 22nd. The cover story is about Alfred A. Knopf Book Designer, Chip Kidd, with the headline, "In The Mind of a Cover Boy". In the interview ( by Pontus Dahlman, not available online ) Chip Kidd states, concerning e-books, "And when it comes to the experience of reading, there will always be a market for paper books. I myself am a print person. A printing ink person." This is really great foreign publicity ( and we love that ) but the really fun part is that they used Book Cover photos from our GALLERY PAGE to illustrate the story… Awesome!
