This particular project was the brain-child of Harper Collins Editor, Peter Hubbard, another one of our near and dear friends here in New York City. He casually fanned the ad in front of us over dinner one evening last week, simply saying, "Look." We of course did look, and then freaked out over such a great accomplishment. Originally, Peter's idea was to take an old classic of philosophical thought, and re-issue it, complete with a snappy new cover design, as a work equally as applicable today as when it originated. The result? Eight complete re-issued works, and a new Harper Perennial campaign, Modern Thought. Not to mention that in the process, Peter was formally promoted to full fledged Editor. You can find a link to one of his current side-works-in-progress, The Serialist, under 'TCO Required Reading'. Maybe Peter can help us with our forever inconsistent use of the old, crazy comma. Great work, Peter!
Great work Peter!
