Peter Adlington is a Senior Designer for Canongate Books of London. Among the covers in his portfolio is James Kelman’s That Was A Shiver. Here he details his process for the piece in his own words.

"The book is warm, visual and narratively rich but in spite of this she called it Dying. No euphemisms, no flouncy literary title, no bullshit. This is a clear-eyed account of a life cut short and that’s what I tried to convey on the cover."
