Typography and Design

Gropen Associates hosts this directory as a free service to the community. We hope it helps you find just the professional you need!

We don't provide any of the services below.

Please do ask us about any financial or operational problems. We provide advice to publishers on an inexpensive "question-by-question" basis. We also offer software packages, helping you tackle common issues independently.

Contact us for assistance whenever you face a difficult situation. If it's not Marion's area of expertise, she probably knows who does cover it!

Daddy Desktop
Designers and publishers tend to view the book jacket as a poster to sell the book. They view text design as an aid to the reader. Just as fiction writers like a twist, so do I. The real job of the dust jacket, after attracting your eye in a bookstore filled with distractions, is not to sell the book but to stimulate you to browse the text. The design of the text is what does the selling. Is it a chore to read? Is it inviting? Is it the right tone for the content? In today's information overload, is it DIGESTIBLE?
