The Book Cover Archive * Fonts in Use Fonts in Use | Yves Peters | January 13, 2009 I’ve been discussing movie posters and album covers for the past two and a half and two years respectively – first on Unzipped and now here on The FontFeed. Yet book covers only have been covered (lame pun, I know – it’s past midnight here!) sporadically, mostly when reporting awards and online galleries. Stephen on his part recently did a very popular entry on the Book, Jacket & Journal Show. There have been moments I’ve considered starting with a regular book cover section, but I don’t think that’s realistic. These type of reviews take a hell of a lot of time to write – posters/covers have to be assembled, inserted in the post, links to the respective movie/artist websites added, then I have to study them, and write something that makes a modicum of sense. I already have to occasionally skip a month for Screenfonts and My Type of Music, so it’s safe to say a Book Faces column would only make matters worse. Excellence in book cover design Fortunately there are a number of places on the internet that showcase book covers and offer insightful information about this (commercial) art. Last Thursday a new and valuable resource was added – The Book Cover Archive was launched, “for the appreciation and categorization of excellence in book cover design”. via
