Cookbooks - Spring 2018
Cookbooks – issue date: February 26; reservations due: February 14
Cookbook art is the focus of this popular feature.
PW talks with art directors, designers, editors, food photographers, illustrators and authors about their forthcoming titles and the art decisions they made along the way.
Topics include how using illustration, photography or a combination of the two benefits particular cookbooks. Can a photo of a noncelebrity chef work well on a cover? What kinds of cookbooks benefit from minimal or black-and-white art as opposed to full-color art on every page?
Cookbooks for the coming spring and summer season—including grilling and barbecue titles—are the perfect match for this feature.
This is the issue where librarians, general booksellers and specialty “kitchen store” booksellers turn to find new titles to carry.
