As you may already know from this post, I’m a sucker for cool, eye-catching book covers. Forget not judging a book by its cover — I love covers that stand out from the stacks, and I’ve discovered a lot of interesting reads from the covers.
This cover practically jumped out at me from House of Anansi’s Spring 2012 catalogue:
The artist, according to Anansi, is Stephen Appleby-Barr, from Team Macho. Isn’t it fantastic? Hilarious, somewhat creepy disturbing, and I especially love the cheeky addition of shades to the bust in the background. Love it!
What do you think? Any other book covers that recently caught your eye?
Literary Treats 
This one struck me too. Must have grabbed them as well, since it was the cover of their catalogue! 🙂
very interesting!!!
Isn’t it gorgeous?! Team Macho (one of whom designed this cover) has a book launch/signing at the Art Gallery of Ontario tomorrow night, if you’re interested. 🙂 http://akimbo.ca/events/?id=40962
