WHERE I’M READING FROM - Tim Parks

Should you finish every book you start?

What is literary style?

Do we need stories?

In this collection of lively and provocative pieces Tim Parks talks about what readers want from books and how to look at the literature we encounter in a new light.

When working on ideas for the cover we wanted to portray the joy of books. We painted, drew and took photos of different jackets before choosing the above ‘flying books’ illustration for the cover. The illustration works its way across the entire jacket, even making an appearance on the endpapers where we experimented with a different view focusing more on the pages within. Together they help celebrate the ever changing world of books.

Out now from Harvill Secker.
