Bookshop Santa Cruz is a treasure of a store with a rich and fascinating history. I recently had the pleasure of designing the book cover and interior pages of this little book that details that history, A Light in the Midst of Darkness. This is the first book in a series about Independent Bookstores from Wellstone in the Redwoods. I loved this book design project because it gave me the opportunity to find little visual gems, like the rocking horse that resides in the bookstore’s children’s section, and incorporate them into the design like easter eggs for Bookshop lovers to find.
