Great find!
Looks ideal for that burst of inspiration we all sometimes need.

yes, great source of inspiration indeed.
thank you, Rob.
Gotta love book covers – they’re a work of art IMO. I wonder if there’s an annual competition for cover design?
On a side note:
I was browsing through the site and the beautiful photo of “Heft on Wheels” by James White immediately reminded me of the recent shot by Nadav Kander for Powerade.
hmmm…
thanks for the link! xojoanna
Wow. This is fantastic! Thanks.
For anyone who’s interested in other book design sites, these are two good ones:

Rob will soon be linking to posts from his own site. Perpetual links, as it were…..
It’s amazing to think all of these archives are just getting started and are already so extensive. Now that most businesses have entire departments dedicated to transferring their archives into a digital format, I imagine it’s only a matter of time before everything has its virtual place.
Looks like exactly what I need… but the link is broken!
