Book cover design is an interesting art form, if you think about it. The best book covers make you stop yourself and look again. The cover is an expression, a description, of the contents of the book, but it should be neither too obvious nor too obscure – it has to reveal the book’s soul using a single image. Then there’s the text – how the title is displayed, the choice of font and colour, the author’s name, a blurb or recommendation – everything that combines to create that perfect book cover.

Enjoy the best book covers from 2016.

Kitabi Keeda of the most obsessive sort. When she's reading something, interrupt her only if you have life insurance! Discovering a fantastic new author can move her to tears. Loves trekking, adores animals and venerates good food (eating it, not cooking it :))!
