FaceOut Books

This is a great website if you have a thing for book cover design... They showcase certain book covers along with the designers thoughts on the project and the process from an idea to finished product.
Updated every Monday.
This venue has been created to appreciate the practice of book cover design. This is not a blog to rip apart what we dislike—everyone has a different aesthetic. This is a blog about the challenges and outcomes of a project. We are here to teach and be taught by one another.---
