So, this is an obvious rip-off of the "What is the What" book cover (David Foster Wallace). Great book. But that cover is a rip-off of certain afro-american books like "The Mis-education of the Negro" by W.E.B. DuBois, and well, if you haunt used book shops, you know this style of book design. I love, love, love that style- it's "modern" without being cutsie. I didn't do it enough justice but you get the idea.
I think book covers are brilliant: they have the zietgiest thing, but in a wierd way they tend to push fine-art limits... much the way album covers do, knowwhudimean?
