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.

While she’s not sure what the industry term is for decorated book covers, she said she’s seen them referred to as “naked hardcovers” and “undies,” and I will totally take her word for it because moments after I began googling those search terms I realized I’d made a grave error.

Q: Do you have a favorite crime novel, and since you’ve read the Great Books, a favorite classic, too? A: It’s extremely random. For good or ill, 90% of my reading’s research reading.
