What is the best book cover ever?

what is the best book cover ever?
(no fan art shit)

I like The Great Gatsby's.
It says that Rex Bonomelli created it.

Not best but I just picked these up and I like them

haven't read it yet, but this one's cover is my fav

...

I looked this up and it has a lot of praise. But is it a kid's book? It sounds like a kid's book.

Those are nice. Too bad is penguin tho

This isn't a full cover, but the artist, Ferenc Pinter, did amazing covers/illustrations, including italian translations of James Bond and Shakespeare

...

It's a kid's book

it is a kid's book, but one of the best imo

...

Zbigniew Herbert, Collected Poems

(he's pretty good too, though of course poetry in translation is never ideal)

...

Also a great translation

wow fuck i've been looking for this for years

>wordsworth
on no

I always thought those were fake covers. Disturbing.

Ferdinand

Is the great gatsby a new meme here or something?

I also first experienced them as a Veeky Forums meme and then I went in a better local bookseller and they had bunches of the things. I was unable to restrain myself, and said aloud: "Jesus Christ, the meme is real."

I like a theory which some other user has floated, which is that the covers are intentionally bad in order to help the ironic camp-sales among hipsters.

I fucking hate this book cover.

...

Bacon meets Rothko. Interesting and dynamic.

...

I opened this thread just to see this cause I knew someone would post it. Thanks for the laugh, user. Much appreciated

Idk if it's the best but it is very elegant and tasteful
