Fore-edge image printed on a modern book, The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd

Fore edge printing

“The Cheese Monkeys”  a novel written and designed by Chip Kidd has a unique fore-edge printed text, similar to a traditional fore-edge painting. When the book is closed there is nothing and when the book is fanned in the opposite direction there is another phrase: “Good Is Dead”.  Chip Kidd is a graduate of Penn State. An exhibition of his work is on view at the Penn State University Libraries.
