Some people think I have way too many blogs. This is true.
Anyway, I saw Chip Kidd speak today. He mentioned that one of his designs got trashed by one of those blogs that review book covers. I like this kind of blogs–I regulardly read Brand New, which critiques logo designs–so I searched for some. The best I saw is The Book Design Review.
In the interest of finding the smallest niche ever, I thought to myself, why not a book design review blog that only reviews philosophy books! Great idea, self. I think a total of two people would read this blog. But they’d probably find it interesting. To begin, I would probably talk about some great covers I saw in the latest MIT Press catalogue; especially this and this. If anyone has information on the designer, let me know!
I will let you know if I ever start this blog.
UPDATE: Funnily enough, apparently the author of the book design review blog also went to philosophy graduate school.
UPDATE: I am pleased that another philosopher has taken up this idea.
