Apt’s links for August 16th through August 17th

• Penguin and Puffin Online Catalogues - Wishlist. A new companion to Penguin by Design; and Penguin by Designers: 700 Penguins.
• Penguin Lust - Premiére de couverture - Jesus. There are other people like us in the world.
• booktwo.org Notebook » Authors, literature and the screen - Brilliant. Authors either write longhand, or on computer. Or do they?
• Run for cover: musos really shouldn’t design book jackets - The knives are out for the MyPenguin designs….
• Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog - books: Judging the Booker by its covers - Mildly amusing judgement of the booker longlist purely on the jackets: “the blurb tells us that “Consolation evokes the mysteries of love and memory, and what suffering the absence of a beloved truly means.” And that, truly, means nothing to me at all.”
• How to Make People Buy Books - Esquire - Chip Kidd, jacket designer extraordinaire (if you like that sort of thing) on, um, jacket design.
