Book covers

I love book covers, they make such a first impression and sometimes a lasting one.

Working as a Librarian, people often describe books by their description (the big white one etc) instead of their title or contents.

Searching the web

I just searched the term 'book art' and discovered that there is a Centre for Book Arts in NY! If I ever get to go to the US again, New York will have to be on the itinerary.
