If you don’t already, I’d highly recommend following the Vintage design team on Instagram as they’re really good at regularly posting covers, but I think you get a really great sense of the quality of work that’s produced by Suzanne and her team – so make sure to follow them @vintagebooksdesign Cover Meeting was hosted by Steve Leard and produced by James Ede of beheard.org.uk.
