Continuum Publishing

I worked with The Continuum Publishing Company from 1993, when they were half of Crossroad/Continuum, until 2012, when they were taken over by Bloomsbury Publishing. I designed covers for trade and academic titles on religion, history, culture, and self-help (including a cover for Dr. Ruth), including for this book about the allied occupation of Japan.

Coincidentally, and unknown to the editors at Continuum when they gave me the commission, this book had a personal value to me. My grandfather James Sinclair Killen played a part in the story the book tells — he was responsible for unionizing Japan after the war, though as my family tells it he resigned in protest after McArthur refused to allow the Japanese to collectively bargain.
