Not nearly as good as I was hoping it would be.

Ein dünnes Büchlein über eine spannende Thematik, die jedoch eher persönlich bleibt und nur durch kleine Anekdoten inspiriert als ein großes Umdenken zu bewirken. Letztendlich muss man diese Texte in meinen Augen nicht gelesen haben, denn wer sich für Umschlaggestaltung interessiert, wird viele Ansätze der Autorin möglicherweise selbst bereits durchdacht haben.

Technically a short read, but it felt really long. There's only so much you can say in a book entirely about book covers. The author's personal touches about her Bengali mother and relationships with clothing were great. Also this book gave some interesting insight into the powerlessness authors have over their own books. But some parts were... boring for me I'm sorry to say. So just okay overall

A lovely read, very short. The text for a speech she gave in Italy. Delightful for anyone who loves the physical aspect of books.
