Covers
Putting  covers on books has been an art form since, well, since before the printing press. But in our mad modern rush to keep up with the latest bestsellers, mysteries, and political rants, do we ever really stop to appreciate the package around the prose? Did you notice, for example, that the bird on the cover of "Field Guide to the North American Bird" is most definitely not a finch? Well, if you saw that one, you probably did. But if you flip for stellar design wrapping the pages of your favorite books, crack open this site. Lavish reproductions and insight into a good cover's needs make the site worth frequent visits for design fetishists and bookworms alike. And it offers an engaging glimpse into the makeup of what sits on the shelves today—from the dire to the delightful to the daring. (in Literature) |
