It’s almost March and I’ve just realised that I haven’t posted very many book covers this year. To make up for this lapse, here are ten of my favourite covers from the last few months:
All Our Names by Dinaw Mengestu; design by Isabel Urbina Peña
The Book of Heaven by Patricia Storace; design by Linda Huang
The Corpse Exhibition by Hassan Blasim; design by Jason Ramirez
The Erl King by Michel Tournier; design by Leo Nickolls
My Life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead; design by Elena Giavaldi
The News: A User’s Manual by Alain de Botton; design by Matt Dorfman
On Such a Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee; design by Helen Yentus, lettering Jason Booher
Half World by Scott O’Connor; design by Christopher Lin
Silence Once Begun by Jesse Ball; design by Peter Mendelsund
The Visionist by Rachel Urquhart; design by Keith Hayes
