Big Magic by Riverhead Design Labs Author: Elizabeth Gilbert The Mothers by Riverhead Design Labs Author: Brit Bennett The Interestings by Riverhead Design Labs Author: Meg Wolitzer "Don't judge a book by its cover” is a well-worn adage, and it’s worn as well as it is for good reason: There's no shortage of eye-catching, delectably designed book covers out there. Go forth and judge. We all do it, and in doing so we’re giving the hard-working artists and designers who have...

New! A Powerful Pennant from rayo & honey

nobody's free until everybody's free by rayo & honey As Keely mentioned when introducing our previous edition, our holiday season has shaped up to be a wordy one. As longtime collectors know, our word nerdery is a long-standing obsession and as of late we’ve been using our words with increasing purpose and ferocity. (Whisper networks really are a thing, y’all.) Our edition today—nobody’s free until everybody’s free—is a handmade, generously sized wall hanging created exclusively for us...

And it’s also profoundly timely. This week last year we watched in horror as our country elected a megalomaniacal...

New Object Art! Sink Your Teeth into Kelly Shimoda’s “Toothy Hanging”

Toothy Hanging by Kelly Shimoda Since it’s Halloween and we’re all adults here, we’ll spare you the scare and go straight for the element of surprise. Over the past years we’ve released several special editions that fall outside our usual print purview. These works are often carefully crafted by hand, bringing with them a bit of idiosyncratic beauty and expanding our variety in the meantime. Most recently, Amos Kennedy’s one-of-kind letterpress pieces and Jen Hewett’s weed-adorned linen...
