These lovely covers for the new editions of the late Andrea Levy's six books were designed and illustrated by Holly Ovenden for Tinder Press in the UK. The colour palettes are great!

In short, Cookbooking is a celebration of the genre and an exploration of what makes books filled with recipes so engaging, collectable, and such excellent companions in bed.

I really like this new series design for Édouard Louis created by Violet Dine with AD Rodrigo Corral for Picador (US). The custom font was created by Trent Howell inspired by Jean-Luc Godard title cards.

Another month of books, another month of book covers. In July, things were obscured. Things were omitted. Things blurred, stretched, melted, smoked. Well, it’s midsummer, after all. I hope yo…

Book covers undeniably serve a marketing function. They are a way of drawing potential readers in and, hopefully, conveying valuable information about the book.

I'm sure Tom Gauld's latest cartoon for The Guardian will resonate with a few folks around here... I liked Tom's recent New Yorker cover too...

I love this new cover for the Fiction Issue of The New Yorker by artists Sergio García Sánchez and Lola Moral. Is there a history of these kinds of cutaway illustrations on New Yorker covers? There was another Sánchez-Moral collaboration "Ready to Soar" a couple of years ago, and Luci Gutiérrez’s “Inside Story” cover for the 'Cartoons & Puzzles' issue last December. Then there is the New Yorkeresque poster for Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch by illustrator Javi Aznarez. Where did the inspiration for that come from?

Hi. Hello. I hope you're all keeping well. This month seems to have flown by so I apologise for rather rushing this out at the last minute.

I don't really know where to start with arguments like this.
