LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY SEPTEMBER 2OO9 THROUGH MARCH 2O1O LITTLE, BROWN • BACK BAY BOOKS • REAGAN ARTHUR BOOKS • ORBIT Dear friends, Two new logos make their debut in the life of Little, Brown this season. On the catalog cover you’ll see a new logo for Little, Brown and Company, our fi rst in more than 50 years. Our beloved old logo, an image of Boston’s Bulfi nch monument, struggled to be visible at the sizes required by many modern uses. Th e graphic artist Lance Hidy created the vivid, typewriter key–based logo you see: highlighting the company’s founders’ initials, honoring the writing process that is the source of all our endeavors, and featuring a classic look to suggest our long history. We are thrilled by its simplicity, strength, and adaptability, and I hope you will come to look to it as an imprimatur of quality writing, bookmaking, and publishing. On page 39 you will see the beautiful logo of Reagan Arthur Books. Reagan Arthur, in case you haven’t met her, is one of the most astute, admired, and eff ective (and relentlessly charming!) editors in publishing today. In less than 10 years she has brought us many of Little, Brown’s most brilliant and bestselling writers: Kate Atkinson, Josh Bazell, Kate Braestrup, Joshua Ferris, Elin Hilderbrand, Kathleen Kent, Elizabeth Kostova, Denise Mina, George Pelecanos, Ian Rankin, Dan Simmons, and many, many others. Her name has come to signify great writing that sells. We are honored to place that name on our books and excited to see all the superb writers she will bring out in the years ahead. Her imprint’s logo was designed by Little, Brown Senior Art Director Keith Hayes. Please join us in celebrating the launch of Reagan Arthur Books!
