Gerald (Jerry) Cinamon trained as a graphic designer in America, then spent many years designing books for Penguin Books (where he was eventually Chief Designer) and many other London publishers for which he won numerous awards. Presently a design historian, he has written about the Penguin design-director Hans Schmoller (Monotype Recorder, April 1987), the illustrator Alice B. Woodward and the Glasgow-style designer Talwin Morris. His major study (and the first in English) of the famed German letterer and type designer Rudolf Koch was published in 2000 by Oak Knoll and The British Library. He is now compiling a reference book of German graphic designers during the 1930s.
Jerry is a member of Letter Exchange, Calligraphy & Lettering Arts Society, Penguin Collectors' Society (contributor to The Penguin Collector), the Double Crown Club, A TypI and the Art Workers Guild. He has lectured on the work of Koch, Ben Shahn, and his own work at Penguin.
