About Tobias.

Tobias Design has been creating “outerwear for books” for over 25 years. We work for some of the biggest (and smallest) book publishers in the industry, including Penguin, Harper Collins, Random House and more.

Our concept-driven designs have graced the covers of a number of New York Times best-sellers— and bargin bin castaways. They’ve also earned us accolades from clients, authors and book lovers alike.
