Carmel designer helped MLK photo book

January

There are so many talented book people in the lower Hudson Valley — and here is just another example of a local resident who has contributed to the wealth of reading materials produced.

23588405.JPGRick DeMonico, a longtime Carmel resident and freelance art director, was the graphic designer of a very popular and much touted book of photographs of Martin Luther King Jr. , “Mine Eyes Have Seen: Bearing Witness to the Civil Rights Struggle” by Bob Adelman (photographer) and Charles Johnson (essays). This book includes many wrenching photographs of the Civil Rights movement taken by Adelman when he was a photographer for Life magazine. The publisher of the book is Time, Incorporated Home Entertainment. It came out in November 2007 and particularly this month has gotten lots of press attention from NBC-TV, CNN and PBS to name a few.

We understand DeMonico is working with Adelman on another photobook about King that will be out in February.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
