Daily Book Graphics #372 / Portrait of Andre Gide

©1964 / It doesn't say Rudolph de Harak but it certainly looks like his work, and it is for McGraw-Hill at the right time, so I am assuming it is his design. I found four McGraw-Hill de Harak books at an estate sale over the weekend (and seven Roy Kuhlman's), more to come.

Daily Book Graphics #371 / Coleccion Teatro










1960–1970 / My mother appears to have bought these Spanish plays while in graduate school (she is out of the country at the moment, I'll ask her about them when she returns). They are small, 4"x6" and printed on very cheap paper. I love the simple consistency. The back covers are less consistent, some have cool caricatures of the authors and some don't.

Daily Book Graphics #367 / Enjoy Your Turtle






Circa 1975 / There is something I like about the simplicity of these covers. If only I could have found a copy of Know Your Monkey.

This post marks the official end of the year long Daily Book Graphics project,
but as I have noted before, I don't plan on stopping. Tomorrow is the beginning of the next year of DBG.

I just put up a set of Flickr images of the Secondary Occupants / Collected & Observed installation.
