I had lots of fun flipping through this online gallery of book covers and designers! I love seeing the different versions of the same books and seeing covers I've never seen for books that I have read.

Have you ever bought a book based on the cover? Did the book live up to the art? Leave us a comment with the link to your favorites!

I'm loving this cover I spotted today. Maybe I'll give it a read...

  • Hey Liz thanks for sharing! I like how in the description it says that images can convey meaning more clearly than text. I definitely want to take a look next time I'm in the bookstore:)
