The saying goes, "You can't judge a book by its cover," but I tend to think a well-designed jacket can speak volumes about what's waiting within. One of my favorite sites, Design Observer, has a feature called Today's Images, in which designer Eric Baker posts: "a weekly jewel box of seemingly random, yet thoughtfully selected, images. At times tender, wicked, nostalgic, amusing, and dazzling, each edition is presented without narration, editing or explanation by its author..." I thought as a fun Friday treat, I'd take a hint from one of my favorite web links and post some excellent covers, stringing images together with some sense of the narrative they combine to create. Enjoy!
