Tom Bloom seemed to have evolution in mind when he illustrated our latest catalog - perhaps because of a discussion Tom and Dan had about the evolution of the style of our printed catalogs. From 1985 to about 1997 most of our catalogs were small booklets, about 8 and a half inches tall. Once we started to illustrate every book in the catalog we decided to change the format, and most of the catalogs we issued from 1997 to 2009 were 11 inches tall. But after having done close to 100 catalogs in that format, we're ready to try something new. Catalog 153 was a short oblong booklet, roughly 5 inches tall and 8 inches wide (Tom Bloom also illustrated the back cover with a dinosaur eyeballing the book-meteor that is likely to make his kind extinct). Will this new format die out soon, or will it reign at Between the Covers for many years? Only time will tell... |
