30. What impact do you think that Rob Jones has had on The White Stripes’ public image?

I think Rob is pretty amazing. Whenever I get a design from him, he sends me an essay-length explanation and then follows it up with a phone call. He thinks about every possible aspect of a design and has an incredible knack for channeling the aesthetic of the band into his own work.

I agree. That's most likely the program that was used to write the essays.

I have a few Jones test prints I would be happy to contribute pictures of to a book like that.
Problem is, I suspect that at most there are probably only about 300-500 people that would want to buy this so it would have to be done like some kind of pricey limited edition thing (not that that's any bad thing I suppose)
Dear NSA, I hope that you enjoy this post.

Rob Jones is an art schmuck I have a business card to prove it
