Patryk Mogilnicki
It's better not to judge the content of books by their covers - and yet they evoke vivid emotions in readers: from delight to disgust, from curiosity to reluctance. When, almost a decade ago, Patryk Mogilnicki, an illustrator, designer and literature enthusiast, saw a particularly ugly edition of his favorite novel in a bookstore, he shared his frustration on Facebook and founded the website I would buy this book if it weren't for the cover . Within a few days, she gained a large group of die-hard fans: people for whom books are more than content: they are faithful companions in our lives.
This volume was created for people like you.
The author gathered a select group of people who create books. It introduces the most important designers, talks about particularly famous and successful projects, and asks some of them in more detail: about their work in the industry, the greatest successes, the most painful failures and unrealized projects, many of which can be seen here.
