Best Book Cover Designs 2008
December 2nd, 2008
Book cover design means a lot to me. They say you’re not to judge one by its cover, but what do they know? A good book cover will attract your interest & help pick one out of thousands others. And as a visual essay on the title’s subject, the cover design can be a fantastic addendum to the book itself.
This year’s New York Times Best Book Cover Design covers some of the best examples of the year. My favourites:
Susan Faludi, “The Terror Dream”
J. Peter Scoblic, “US vs Them”
Eric Wilson, “Against Happiness”
Nathaniel Rich, “The Mayor’s Tongue”
Walter Benjamin, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Production”
