Here’s a great little gallery featuring the high caliber work of Helen Yentus. She’s pretty hot right now, so no doubt you’ve seen her covers in the stores recently. They’re all over Birmingham book stores, that’s for sure.

CK Interview
Here’s a link to an Esquire interview with Knopf’s Chip Kidd. It’s a pretty good one, offering insight into three of Kidd’s most recent covers. (via the Book Design Review)
A sound design?
I’m really not crazy about this cover. Though I think the process is VERY cool. If I understand it correctly, then every book has it’s own cover, since each was “recorded” at a different place and time. I just wish that the designers had chosen different symbols, patterns, etc. for the machines to manipulate.
I realize none of this makes any sense. That’s why you should watch the first video on their site. The last video on site, is cool too, since it shows all the graphics being pushed around by the city’s sounds.

Books w/titles vs. books w/
Great question/discussion going on over at The Book Design Review about book covers with no titles on them. Chime in with your two cents.
