Why a Design?

This is the cover of K.C. Bacon's new book.

There is a philosophy concerning why we decided on this simple design, which hearkens back to the early days of publishing in western civilization.

We think it conjures images of the aphoristic form as an historical method, which was first a process of writing sprung  from sage messengers and steeped in oral traditions

As publishing progressed, changing attitudes and typographical experiments colluded to change the way books look, but in the beginning they expressed a quite simplified meaning and artistic expression.

Here are aphorisms, what more could you possibly need on the cover?

Very pure and down to earth, the message was delivered via the form, as all readers needed to know was what the book concerned.  Opening it, readers might judge for themselves its sage qualities.

To that affect, this cover is a bit of an homage to one of the oldest methods of expression and publishing's birth.

In addition, we chose a pocket-size format, the better for you to whip it out of your jacket or purse when you feel like impressing your knowledge upon your friends and/or bar buddies.

See?  RBP aims to please.
