NYTimes Covers
It’s Monday, which means a trip by Book Covers from the NYTimes Book Review around here. Missed last week, so double the fun today!
Including this gem:
J’adore. Spacing, aging, colors, amazing photo arrangement, all of it. Joseph is exactly right about the noose, too.
Update: Crown kindly let me know that David Tran did the cover for Our Town. Nicely done, David!
Great conversation going about A Changed Man, as well — check it out. (Like the Saunders and Disposable American, too. Thanks, Joseph!)

I’m getting so much out of reading this site. Until now, I had a pretty good idea of what I thought were effective and ineffective gook covers. Now I’m learning how to articulate it. Thanks!

Thank you, Steven!
Giles: you only stop by on Monday? That hurts, man. ;-)
LOL! No, I only steal your great posts on Monday…;)
You don’t know when I stop by because I haven’t been able to comment in a long while. Blogger, Macs, and Firefox combine to make something unfriendly — just keeps asking me to repeat entry of the code over and over. (One of the reasons I didn’t use such a system here.) Thought I’d mentioned; please forgive if I forgot.
Planning a post tomorrow, too, if it’s okay — Kool-Aid is gorgeous.
Hmmm…I’ll have to check into that. When I blog at home I also use Blogger/Mac/Firefox.
I’ve noticed, btw, that I can comment on Foreword but not if I preview my comments. If I preview and then try to post, I get a message that’s something like “Name and address required.”
Hmmm…I’ll have to check into that.
Seconded. (Anybody else having that problem?)
Man, it would be great if these systems just worked without the endless tweaking.
