Designing Bret Easton Ellis

Take a look at the new look for Bret Easton Ellis. His latest novel, Imperial Bedrooms, is out in paperback in April, and we've refreshed all of his other novels as well, including Less Than Zero and American Psycho.

The designs are done by American graphic designer Chip Kidd.

People have been falling over each other to try and get their hands on a set in the office, but we've managed to keep a set to give away.

If you'd like to win a full set, tell us what you think of the new designs by leaving a comment. We'll pick one winner at random on the 14 April.

Love the reboot, particularly the bold colours. Should stand out really well on the shelves!

I really like this collection. I like the silhouettes and the bold colors. They are fitting for Ellis' books.

Very much a '60s mass market paperback feel. Not that that's a bad thing.

I particularly like the new cover for LESS THAN ZERO (coincidentally, I just finished re-reading it today). Still haven't read THE RULES OF ATTRACTION... yet.

It makes me want to read all those books again. Fantastic work.

These may be the best designs yet, the bold colours echo the glitz and glamour that are the backdrop to his novels, and the silhouettes match the narcissists his work is filled with. Tempted to splash out on the complete set.
