What is the best book cover ever?
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.
