John Reinhardt1

I live in the small town of Brookline, Vermont (population 412) with my wife Lynn (our daughter, Kim is currently living and working in Boston) and our Jack Russell, Zoey. I grew up in Champaign, Illinois. We own an old Vermont house bordered on the west, north, and east by trees and faces a berry farm and west river valley to the south.

10 years as production manager/designer for Research Press publishing company

2 years as art director for four weekly newspapers

5 years as lead book designer designer for Irving Perkins Associates

20th year as owner of John Reinhardt Book Design

While living in Illinois, Lynn and I would watch "Newhart" every Monday evening. I guess the music finally got to us. We sold our house, left our careers, sold our '73 BMW Bavaria, and packed everything we owned into a Ryder truck and moved to Vermont. It's been twenty-five years since we made that move. My office overlooks the beautiful green mountains of Vermont!

It hasn't been easy,
but it's been worth it!

I spend most of my time:

  • Designing books
  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Working on our house
  • Working in the community
  • Walking
  • Day trips
  • Playing with our dog
  • Indoor rowing
  • Magic
  • Formula 1
  • Bicycling
  • Computer stuff!
  • Watching TV
  • Watches

Enough about me . . .

If you don't wake up each morning with the desire to pursue your profession with passion and the never-ending desire to do a better job today than you did yesterday, then please, for the benefit of the rest of us, go back to bed!

There’s nothing more precious than daddy’s little girl. This is a picture of my daughter, Kim, and me “way back when.” Times sure have changed since then. My daughter is now 24 and (ass’t) managing a Sur la Table store, and I no longer wear glasses!

Kim is the light of my life. She has a real talent for managing and retail and for organizing events, interior/display decoration, and design in general.
