Milton Glaser designed covers for a number of paperback editions of 19th-century novels by Russian authors: in 1960, he used Futura Display for The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories by Leo Tolstoy. A year later, he chose Bullfrog for Sergey Aksakov’s Family Chronicle. Also in 1961, Glaser picked Flirt for the Signet Classic edition of Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Souls.
