The 13 Best Book Covers of March
The Fonts Are Out!
Another month of books, another month of book covers, another month of our semi-legitimate leaders trying to kill us. Here are my favorite jacket designs from March:

I love everything about this cover: the reflection, the almost-invisible title, the handwritten text. It’s evidence of commitment to a concept, and it really works.

You can see the rich colors and texture even through the computer screen, and it looks like its own piece of fine art, but even more importantly, it’s just Not Like Other Covers. That cut-off corner is so distinctive! (I also love the UK version.)

The perfect balance (sorry) of text and image.

Another one that impresses with its freshness: an Excel sheet as the basis for a book cover? Just weird enough to work.

Incredible the sense memories that can be instantly evoked with a little off-white serif font.

The texture is palpable.

Flowers are everywhere on book covers, but this one takes on meaning after meaning the longer you look at it.

It’s patently ridiculous, which is, of course, the point.

A beautiful and surprising work of art—I especially love the text treatment.

Perfectly evocative and quite daring.

The contrast between title and image makes me shiver. (I also love Luke Bird’s cover for the UK edition.)

Flight paths that also make a bull’s-eye—consider me drawn in.

The fonts are doing a lot of work here—they’re making me almost believe that if I were to pick up this book, I might just find myself sitting at that table. Anyway, I’m buying it.
