this beautiful series of covers was designed by ‘coralie bickford-smith’ using the ‘cyanotype’ technique…

i came across them on the penguin blog, there is a video of her talking about the designs and the ‘romek marber’ two-tone crime series from the 60’s that inspired her…

another interesting site on book jacket design that i have just discovered is this one, lots of unfriendly comments by flamers here… the gestalten tv podcast site also has an interesting interview with some top-notch book cover designers (click on ‘fully booked’)
