Chip Kidd is a book designer and author. His most recent book is Only What's Necessary: Charles M. Schulz and the Art of Peanuts.\n\n\u201cThe curious thing about doing a book cover is that you're creating a piece of art, but it is in service to a greater piece of art that is dictating what you're going to do. I may think I've come up with the greatest design in the world, but if the author doesn't like it, they win. And I have to start over.\u201d\n\nThanks to The Standard Hotels, MailChimp, Mack Weldon, Prudential, The Great Courses Plus, and "The Message" for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@chipkidd\nchipkidd.com\n[4:00] Kidd's Amazon page\n[5:00] Only What's Necessary: Charles M.
