Once upon a time, or maybe twice

I meant to mention this before Christmas: the Candlewick Press Yellow Submarine book encapsulates the 1968 film beautifully, and Fiona Andreanelli’s design is up to her usual standards of attention to detail (to both Heinz Edelmann’s artwork and Apple’s house style). I didn’t check, but I’ve long wondered if Apple used the genuine version of Amelia for its Yellow Submarine projects; I hope that someone did get in touch with the typeface’s creator, Stan Davis, considering Apple’s defence of the Beatles’ creative autonomy.
