Any Sandman cover.

Yeah McKean is always on point.

quote:

Over the years, she has experimented with everything from elaborate color-codes and hidden motifs to scented bindings, printing on filter coffee paper, producing a 2,136-page book with no page numbers or index, and hacking page edges with a circular saw. (Cover of a book on European Flags, designed by Boom.)

Irma Boom

That's a BFB.

My Penguin parade,





all of their new Penguin Classics covers. As you're already aware, they follow a handsome Penguin tuxedo theme,



Classics for classics.

and

All of Frank's covers; you've seen the immortal Conan twenty thousand times, here's (one of the many) Tarzans!



and out of my affinity for antiquarian books ("newest" to oldest)







eldest of this post: the Lindau Gospels, 9th century CE,

next, just the covers, mind you



and dig Gaetano's exultant Deco,



add



its reprisal isn't horrendous

I'm no Tolkien fan -- you may remember this smartened cover series, made to look Modern Library / Penguinish. I like the original ideas. Exotic heraldry, not perfunctory composites.

If this were a magazine cover thread . . . oh no, not enough pages in the world.
