Book Covers

Art and literature has always had a very symbiotic relationship. Some feature art prominently, such as in comic books and graphic novels, and some rely on art so that reader can indeed judge a book by its cover. The Book Cover Archive is a Web site devoted to featuring great art work that authors have used to sell their books. So as you look through these entries, think how you would design your own book cover. How would you design it? What prominent object, person or detail would you want to take from your writing and transplant it to an artist’s rendering? It’s always nice to dream!
