book beauty: american sea writing

Wonderful book design effectively shapes the atmosphere of a work. This particular anthology, American Sea Writing, exemplifies that beautifully as the translucent jacket, old-world graphic face and classic cloth spine evoke the organic smell of New England sea.

Published in 2000 by The Library of America
Designed by Bruce Campbell



Hemingway, Thoreau and Twain are among the writers whose stories comprise this lovely edition!
