Extraordinaire indeed.

The blog The Book Design Review is filled with designs to inspire any project. I particularly like this Zadie Smith cover by Richard Bravery and Si Scott.

Please go take a look at this collection of gorgeous book covers, by deisgner Gabriele Wilson.

And while we’re at it, let’s not forget the hilarious and infinitely talented Chip Kidd, who has exactly the job I want to have when I grow up.

Speaking of book covers, M. S. Corley redesigns book covers (like this Harry Potter one) to look like classic Penguin books. These would have been so much easier to read on the subway.

Dick Bruna designed over 2000 book covers for his father’s publishing company A.W. Bruna & Zoon, before he designed the Miffy character he’s known and loved for. Find excellent galleries of his pre-Miffy designs here, and here.
