Most Coveted Covers, 2008: Awesome Book Jacket Art
Karen Templer from Readerville blog says,
Eight years ago, we did something that, at the time, was considered frivolous by many - we started reviewing book covers, under the heading of Most Coveted Covers. I've always found it strange that book designers aren't more acclaimed (Chip Kidd notwithstanding) given how important their work is to the industry, and I wanted to name names and call attention to great work. Anyway, this week's marks the 200th installment. It's pretty groovy to scroll back through them all, and amazing that even the oldest ones among them still look good!Most Coveted Covers: Readerville Journal.
