We’re not supposed to do it, but we do it anyways. We judge books by their covers. So why not indulge in the beauty of them! Here are 6 book covers that I ADORE and would proudly display on my shelf for no other reason that aesthetics! What are some of YOUR favorites?

So, I was sitting here, indulging in some cover lust & thought I would share. If you have ever wondered what I do with my free time & Google…this is it, I could stare at book covers for hours. Anyways, here are a few that I like. What do you think?

Cover Lust
Good Morning!
So…I was reading an article the other day that was talking about the “new-age artist” (I’ll try to find the article again and post it…) Basically it said that as a whole, our society doesn’t appreciate art they way it used to. (#1. I think that is bullshit, I could spend HOURS in the MET and not bat an eye.) Anyways, Mr. McNegativity then went on to criticize what he thought was a horrible trend in modern day art.
Book Covers.
Long story short he said that artists that could really “make” something out of themselves are wasting their time designing emotionless slub for the masses instead of putting their ideas down on a canvas where it should be.
Dear Sir… You are an idiot.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I could spend hours doing nothing but looking at book covers, AND as a person who has designed book covers, I love having my work out their for a WIDE audience…not just they 100 or so tourist that decide to visit a SOHO hot-spot.
So…to the man who very clearly has his head stuck up his (((censored))) I pose this question:
How in the HELL can these not be considered art?
