review 1: 10 Stars! I heave a contended sigh.What a perfect book, wonderfully explaining the career into which I'm determined to break. I wish books like these were written about all good design, especially more book covers. For the time being, I will simply sit here and pray that I will one day meet, and I daresay even work with Paul Buckley, at which point I could probably die because my life had reached the pinnacle of achievement.
review 2: I bought this title hoping for a gorgeous art book - and it is! Beautiful, full-color repros of book covers, some of which I'm sure are sitting on your shelves right now. BUT - it was also a fascinating read. Each cover is dissected by the art directors, designers, illustrators and in many cases, the authors themselves; some of... more whom were none too pleased by the finished product gracing their books' covers. A treat for bibliophiles interested in a look behind the scenes of publishing. less
