Best book covers of 2007

The Book Design Review Blog has picked its top book covers for 2007 -- there are some superb covers here -- I'm especially fond of these two, for Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity, and The Worst Years of Your Life. Got favorites of your own? Link 'em in the comments. Link (via Kottke)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Enhancing Evolution by John Harris has a good one, as does The Varieties of Scientific Experience by Carl Sagan (although this second one is better in real life then in a picture, as the stars are shiny!).

Maybe I’m biased because my brother Ted has a story in it, but the Indie Spinner Rack anthology, Awesome by Jon Adams is one of my favorites.

I love the different layers and vibrancy of colors on Fallen Nation. What a cute monkey!

I was particularly happy with the book cover from my memoir, Tales of the Midwest (released earlier this year and freely downloadable as a PDF eBook at that link). That page also describes the process used in designing the cover. My favorite cover design aspect is the back cover listing of “advance criticism” snippets for which a dozen or so other bloggers offered insults — so much better than the usual “advance praise” found on so many books today.

Things I’ve Failed At:
autobiographical mumbles of a weirdo

I bought this book solely based on the cover from the author selling who was selling it on the street in Venice.
