One of my favorite bookstores, along with their Coral Gables location. So happy to see they are here to stay.
Beloved Miami Beach bookstore, Books & Books, takes what could be just another sad local bookshop closure, and finds the opportunity to redesign their space in a new home next door. Though Books & Books had to move to the side to make room for a new Diesel Shop on the Lincoln Road strip, the bookstore will now have significantly more space. Other changes include a cobranded Design Within Reach cafe, and the Assouline Boutique Corner.
How Do You Design a Book Cover?
“First you start with a blank page, stare and think really hard, drink lots of coffee, take lots of breaks, fix the copier jam, update your Facebook page, get over the fears that this project is the one that will finally expose you as the hack that you are, and then just trust to do what you feel is right from what you’ve read, present your ideas to find out how they live outside of your head, listen to feedback, try to leave work at a decent hour, have a life, floss, get enough sleep, have a good breakfast and come back the next day to redo it all over again. It’s that simple and fun. And if it isn’t, then get another blank page and start all over again.”
