The look of the book : jackets, covers & art at the edges of literature / Peter Mendelsund, David J. Alworth, 289 pgs.
An amazing book about book covers, a little history, a little theory, and some predictions about the future. Plenty of examples and samples in this beautifully done coffee table book. Recommended for literary nerds and graphic art types. And let's all finally admit that we DO judge a book by its cover, which is why publishers invest BIG BUCKS into designing them.
