Another month of books, another month of book covers. This month was all about the art choices—and a couple clever tricks, too. My favorite book covers of June are below; as always, feel free to add on to my list in the comments.
Maggie O’Farrell, Land; cover design by Holly Ovenden (Knopf, June 2)A tactile inversion of a topological map that pulls you in.
Morgan Thomas, Mad Eden; cover design by Charlotte Grimm (MCD, June 2)I love everything about this daring cover: the matte black space, the dragons, but especially the integrated-but-functional asterisks.
Deborah Levy, My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein; cover design by Na Kim; art by Leonora Carrington (FSG, June 2)A cover that would be perfect to line the walls of any Parisian salon, with a perfectly weird Carrington select to boot.
P. C. Verrone, Rabbit, Fox, Tar; cover design by Emily Mahon (Catapult, June 2)An effective and unusual relief print.
