You’ll be surprised by what one bookseller found hiding under dust jackets.
The most eye-catching, however, was Chip Kidd’s interior design for Haruki Murakami’s “First Person Singular.” Dubbed a “Murakami Records Productions,” it features a blue-tinted photo of a New York City jazz club during an engagement by Charlie Parker and sports the words “Plays Bossa Nova” across the front like an album.
