Matt Taylor – Le Carre Covers

Over the past few months Matt Taylor has been working on a very special project for Penguin US. Matt was approached late last year and asked to produce new covers for six new editions of classic John Le Carre novels, as well as the cover for Le Carre’s newest book Our Kind Of Traitor (paperback edition).

Working closely with art director Paul Buckley the results are quite stunning and we think it’s some of Matt’s finest work to date. Below are the complete set of seven covers, the first complete with the type treatment on, the rest are without.

Our Kind Of Traitor

A Perfect Spy

The Honourable Schoolboy

The Little Drummer Girl

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Smiley’s People

The books are available to purchase here.
