I just finished this wonderful book and posted my review yesterday. I think the cover is just beautiful. It makes me feel good every time I look at it, much like an attractive painting does.

  2. I too consider myself to be a rather visual person, and I have to admit that I have a tendency to choose a book by it cover :)

    I just bought these two books this afternoon and I thought their covers look nice...
    After The Long Goodbye
    Now You're One of Us

  5. There are some good blogs that go into the process of creating book covers like these, very interesting.
