The Book Cover

Autor Peter Mendelsund, David J. Alworth
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2020
A colorful and captivating visual exploration of book design, with never-before-seen sketches, mock-ups, and case studies of recent and best-selling novels, plus insider interviews with novelists and publishing executives that bring to light the inspiration, methods, and creative genius behind the book covers that grace our shelves.

The Book Cover shows that book covers are, and have always been, so much more than silent salespersons. They are advertisements for themselves, but also advertisements for us. Even the most casual book collector understands the interplay of shelf and self, the display of books and the fashioning of identity. With case studies, interviews, and galleries of jackets for best-selling books that never saw the light of day, this is a fascinating inside look at the intersection of culture and commerce. With a jacket that folds out into a poster, perforated cards for alternate covers for famous books, and several different types of paper used inside, this is the perfect gift for book lovers.
