Review: Cover to Cover celebrates Penguin's 70th anniversary with an expansive collection of brilliant cover designs - Classic Penguin: Cover to Cover celebrates Penguin's 70th anniversary with an expansive collection of brilliant cover designs, replete with behind the scenes tales of how the covers came to be and a peek at some covers that never made the cut. Booklovers will easily identify with the fundamentals of this book: "A book cover demands our initial engagement with a work. You may not think a cover reflects your own thoughts of a book, but it evokes a response and inspires a reader's imagination to begin building the world within the pages created by the author." What makes the covers showcased in Cover to Cover unique is that the books are classics, so well-known that illustrators were given the freedom to break the conventional rules of cover art design. The result is an array of covers that are bold and unrestrained, simple yet dramatic, or coy but colorful. Overall, Cover to Cover is brimming with personality, not just because of the multi-varied illustrations, but because of the written commentary from editors, creative directors, writers, and illustrators. Not everyone worked well together but, at the end of the day, all parties involved collaborated to create some gorgeous works of art. As far as written commentary goes, a particular favorite comes from illustrator Riccardo Vecchio and his description of creating a moody watercolor painting for a collection of plays: "Roher Calligraphy ink, green, lemon yellow ink, lavender, magenta, and pink. It smells musky. Wet brush strokes dissolve non-waterproof ink, bleeding outwards. Liquefied pigment spreads like thunderous clouds in water drops held together by surface tension." Penguin Classics: Cover to Cover is a stunning collection that will appeal to artists, designers, bookworms, and bibliophiles who favor classic literary works.
Review: Beautiful New Covers For Penguin Classics - This is a complete compendium of Penguin Classics with their brand new covers, and let me tell you, they are just gorgeous! The book gives you a peek at how the illustrators came to decide what the covers should look like. I have purchased several of these books, and will probably order more. Penguin books have published books that I was not even aware of, and it has opened my eyes to some really amazing books. If you are a book collector (as I am), and a book lover (as I am) this should be on your shelf. I love great books, and I am a sucker for a beautiful cover.
