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.
Rick 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.
