ABSTRACT

The article focuses on the covert art designs of the books published by Dalkey Archive Press. Nicholous Motte, a cover art designer has been designing the cover pages for the press since a long time. He has been asked by Dalkey Dutton, Dalkey's art director to design a cover art for the book "The Book of Jokes," which is about a family for whom jokes have became a reality. The drawings of Motte seemed ridiculous, fun and formal, but also slightly disorienting.
