Cover Collage: Text-Only

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover…but in the instances of these text-only book covers, maybe you can? Many in today’s collage are poetry collections, and no surprises there: we don’t envy any designer the difficult task of boiling down a collection of words to an image. It’s far from a cop-out, though: these exquisitely-set type-only covers would be beautiful additions to any collection.Special shout outs to the clever transposing of the words “Smoke” and “Proofs” with the author’s name, and the cool, calm blue Futura on Erin Wunker’s latest collection of essays, hiding an awesome feminist fire within.
