長期以來一直是美國出版界炙手可熱的設計大師。奇普.基德基德（Chip Kidd）的書籍設計，超出了人們對一般圖書封面的印象，每每引起巨大的轟動。被稱為「世界最偉大的書籍設計師」

” Among the hundreds of books to benefit from his eye-catching designs are numerous works by Japanese writers, including Murakami Haruki, with whom he has worked for 20 years.
在他的搶眼的上百本書籍設計中，有許多日本作家作品的封面設計，他負責村上春樹的作品長達20多年。

 Back in the city to attend the inaugural Tokyo International Literary Festival in early March 2013, he spoke about his fascination with Japan and the influence of Japanese pop culture on his work as a designer.
2013年3月，基德為參加首屆東京國際文藝節訪日，我們請他談了日本的魅力、日本大眾文化對他設計工作的影響。

Reading is a theater of the mind. My job is to figure out what the books look like. You could say it’s a very superficial thing. But at the same time, I don’t know an author anywhere who does not want their book depicted with some kind of visual look that is particular and hopefully unique. Whether it’s an icon on the screen or a book on a shelf or table, authors want their work to be visually depicted in a way that will make people want to read it. And I can’t see that ever changing.”
「讀書是一種心靈的劇場。我的工作，是想方設法找出書籍的外觀。也許你會認為這是很膚淺表面的事情，但是，沒有一個作家不想讓自己的書籍設計獨一無二，舉世無雙。作家們一定都希望自己的著作外觀出眾，看了設計就讓人產生先「讀」為快之感。」
