The chosen design was a typographic illusion cover of Rebecca Schiff’s novel _The Bed Moved_, that would stop any avid reader or design fiend in their tracks. After discovering that Janet is a designer at Alfred A. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House, we soon unearthed an array of thoughtfully apt book covers.
