Book covers, in Germany, are mostly something to be ashamed of, for no good reason – it’s really inexplicable why virtually all German publishers have such appalling taste in design, or presume their readers to have. So forgive us for kindly pointing you towards the new and still in beta state website The Book Cover Archive, which assembles the peaks and perks of (international) book cover design into one glorious database, to be browsed by designer, photographer or illustrator, typefaces, publishers, etc. etc. Still in its early stages, but already a gem of archiving design.

I love the Book Cover Archive, I wonder if they’ve posted anything new lately. And lol about German book covers.
