In December 2006, Michael Bierut of the design firm Pentagram moderated a Poetry Center Reading Series event called “The Art of the Book: Behind the Covers” with visual presentations by superstar designers Milton Glaser, Chip Kidd and Dave Eggers followed by a panel discussion. You can read reviews of the program here and revisit the spirited debate about “The Graphic Glass Ceiling” that ensued on the Design Observer blog in its wake. Even better, watch the extended video excerpt above (over 50 minutes) which includes the presentations of Glaser and Kidd.
