Ep. 13 - Ellen Lupton and Reif Larsen on Judging a Book by Its Design

Have you ever judged a book by its cover? Don’t feel bad; you’re supposed to. But how are design choices made, and who holds the power to make them? In Book Dream’s first double-guest episode, Eve and Julie discuss and challenge conventions of book design with Ellen Lupton, graphic designer, writer, and educator, and Reif Larsen, author of “The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet.” Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at [email protected].
