Quantum of Solace Hardback

Quantum of Solace: The Complete James Bond Short Stories is a stunning book designed by Angus Hyland and Fabian Herrmann of Pentagram that is a collection of Ian Fleming’s Bond short stories. Gorgeous.

Hyland created a cloth-covered hardback with cover imagery restricted to a silver foil-blocked image of Bond’s infamous Walther PPK (shown here with silencer). A subtle diamond pattern is debossed on to the boards, which combined with deep burgundy endpapers evokes the discerning elegance of Bond’s world. An embossed manila bellyband with typewritten cover information on the label evokes the official documents of the period.

I’m back and feeling better. I appreciate all the “get well” comments. Thank you.

Anyway, it seems like the multidisciplinary design studio Suprb is finally back in action with a new site and a new partner. It was originally the brainchild of Andreas Pihlström but now it’s a two man team that includes Emil Olsson.

The duo just released a new site for musician Ben Lukas Boysen. Can’t wait to see what else comes out of this studio.
