Hugh D'Andrade is a self-confessed book jacket junky. No offense to writers, but Hugh has little interest in your content; he prefers to judge a book by its cover.  All of which makes him very gifted when it comes to jacket design and illustration.

A recent favorite is this one for a brilliantly funny memoir about a bad relationship and messy breakup, set in Hugh’s native San Francisco:

“Much of the action takes place in bars and locales that I know well. But even better was the fact that the author, Linda Robertson, was so happy with the piece that she had my name written into her contract for future books as the cover designer. Can't wait for the next book!”
