Hi


Hello, my name is Todd.
I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to have found this place. Who’d of thunk it, a book-designers blog. Amanda asked if I would like to be an editor, so obviously, the answer was yes, so here I am!
So who am I? I’ll keep it brief. I design books (nonfiction) for becker&mayer! Books in Bellevue, WA (just outside Seattle). Here’s a sample of some of the books I’ve designed:

If you happen to have a copy of the Chronicle Fall/Winter 2004 catalog, flip to page 18. The kid on the cover of For This I Am Grateful is (a much younger) me.

My personal site is www.toddbatesdesign.com

I’m glad to be here.
Todd

Soooo cute! And I love that “Eat This” cover; I’ve seen it a lot lately. Can’t wait to check out your site.

Welcome Todd!

Hey, Todd, all I get on your site is “enter” and “thanks!” The poster blurb on the front looks cool, though.…

And I love Eat This. I’ve seen that around, too. Looking forward to many more cool items.

Okay, just occurred to me that you might use a pop-up for the main site. (I have pop-ups blocked.) Maybe a link and/or blurb that people should click on the link in case nothing happens…?

These rock! Very inspiring, too.
