Design and conquer: Pure talent
December 4, 2009 at 11:31 am by Debbie Michaud in Books
The New York Times‘ Book Design Review blog has published
its first round of nominations for the best book cover of
2009, which includes Cara Petrus’ design
for local author Terra Elan
McVoy’s Pure. Blogger Joseph Sullivan asked the staff of three indie
booksellers to provide the nominations. Pure’s nod comes from WORD in Brooklyn, whose list
also includes new looks for Vladimir Nabokov’s The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov
and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Three more lists to come (two from
bookstores and one from Sullivan). In the meantime, readers can vote at the blog
for their favorites.Culture Surfing -
