A dear colleague referred me to these two cover design blogs: COVER and Book Covers from the NYTBR. Each site catalogues the trends and innovations of the book design trade. With all that art, they're nice to look at, but the most valuable features on both are the comments. Art directors, book designers, and other like-minded talents weigh in on the merits and flaws of each cover. Being the industry insiders they are, the commenters have some pretty insightful things to say and often recommend cool stuff -- like this "Cow" by artist Marion Peck. Say "Hello," Cow. Hiya.
