The speakers, including Chip Kidd and Peter Mendelsund of Knopf, Marysarah Quinn and Christopher Brand of Crown, and Robbin Schiff of Random House, discuss the importance of a close reading of the text in question and share cover outtakes for titles like The Dinner by Herman Koch; All That Is by James Salter; Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss; and Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish by David Rakoff.
