book cover design for The Wild Things by Dave Eggers
| October 05, 2009

We picked up Dave Eggers' The Wild Things, which is "based very loosely on the storybook by Maurice Sendak and the screenplay co-written with Spike Jonze." The new book published by McSweeney's came in shrinkwrap. Rachel Sumpter illustrated the cover for the cloth-bound hardcover edition, and the special Fur-covered edition is designed and illustrated by D.E. (we're expecting that one in the mail shortly since we just signed up for the McSweeney's Book Release Club).
