Series: Samuel Beckett
A landmark publication: for the first time all of Samuel Beckett's work will be published by Faber, in newly edited editions with introductions from leading Beckett scholars. Twenty Beckett titles will be published between now and Spring 2011.
This new, unified design for Beckett's work has taken almost a year from concept to completion working closely with Beckett Estate. Design was managed by Faber's Miriam Rosenbloom, who commissioned design studio A2/SW/HK [more].
