That’s a Wilde form for a novel

wilde[Via The Book Design Review]

This is the cover of a new version of The Picture of Dorian Gray published by Four Corners Books in London. It’s published like a magazine, I guess cuz first it was published in a magazine. Any good books coming out in magazines nowadays? Is everybody enjoying Shya Scanlon’s “book,” Forecast? (Speaking of nice design and serialized novels?)

I mean, get outta town, that’s the cover of the book. It’s got a nasty font and a word-
break and it don’t got the title or author or nothing.

Fn-A right, that’s pretty dang wapow. (Even it was reviewed in Financial Times.) I gotta go back to school.

I checked out Four Corners. They have other awesome looking books.

      I liked that one a lot but it reminded me too much of Portnoy’s Complaint.

      I really, really, really like this book. I clicked through and I didn’t like any of the other ones as much. I got even more excited about the Dorian Gray when I saw how they’ve approached the inside of the book, with photographs and big pull-quotes. Man. I might see if I can find this book tonight. I should check if it’s even out yet.
