Nieves

I already knew there was a lot to love about Nieves; producer of the publishing world's most coveted tote…

Publishers of this amazing Geoff McFetridge book – short, but very, very sweet (a must have for Where The Wild Things Are aficionados everywhere):

And then I read a profile of Nieves publisher in Monocle magazine. I hadn't realised how much of a one-man-band he is, producing his engaging and idiosyncratic list from a small office in Zurich. He was a graphic designer before becoming a publisher (which explains the cute totes) and much of the appeal of a Nieves book comes from the fact that he appears to let his authors have relatively free rein over the work. Another likeable quality is that he's not in it for the money: 'As long as I have money to do the next book, and live from it, that's OK. I live low key. I'm always surprised how little I need' he says.
