JD Salinger’s covers
There are strict rules about JD Salinger’s covers. The only copy allowed on the books, back or front, is the author name and the title. Nothing else at all: no quotes, no cover blurb, no biography. We’re not really sure why this is, but it gives you definite guidelines. Last year we decided it was probably time to re-design the covers, and we wanted a unique typeface that stood out. We commissioned Seb Lester, the highly regarded type designer, to hand-draw a font; that font, on the cover of these re-issues, is a one-off and is known in-house here at Hamish Hamilton as the ‘Salinger’.”
— Simon Prosser, publishing director at Hamish Hamilton
This redesigned box set of Salinger’s books was due to be published in June, but should be out this month. I have a well-loved Catcher in the Rye (the edition with a white cover and rainbow stripes in the upper corner), but replace and expand with this attractive set.
