Great interview, but your negative reviews were all obvious (necessary, and funny, but obvious). Easy pickins. I wish you'd gone after some more mainstream stuff (pick any table at, say, my local Barnes & Noble, and it's teeeeeeeeming with terrible, boring, thoughtless design from major presses).
Good point--because I was limited in the number of things I could be rude about, I stuck to those three categories, but I do need to be a bit more CAUSTIC about some of the stuff out there.
I'm naturally drawn to the more ridiculous covers and Tutis are the galactic emperors of bad design. Indeed, I'm sure that people would pay good money to see an exhibition of the best of Tutis.

ReplyDeleteVery good interview, by the way.
I want the Portable Dorothy Parker.
ReplyDeleteNever seen it before, but it looks good, and purple!
