An A-Z of Typographic Book Covers

11

Here at Flavorwire, we love book covers. We’re also nerds, so we totally dig typography. So obviously, we really love awesome typography on book covers. And with our typographic book jacket alphabet, we can spell words with our books! What’s better than that? Click through for a (mostly) complete A-Z in book cover typography, and if you can think of any for the letters we’ve missed, let us know in the comments!

Love yr. sight. Have you considered W for The Wooster Group Work Book typeset inliss and published by Routledge/theatre performance studies, a most excellent piece of design? Or N for Nohow On, a unique artistic/textual collaboartion by Samule Beckett (his last project ddone before his death in 1989) and artist Robert Ryman who posed the vital question “it’s not what to paint, but how to paint? Becekettian exponential, truly a scarce commodity but exquisite!
