Eye-Catching Covers

Let's face it, regardless of the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover", we're all guilty of it. That's why it's so important for publishers to create a cover that catches the eye. I've spotted a few covers recently that have warranted a second glance. I may not read the book--ultimately, the story is what matters--but at least they captured my attention, exactly what the publisher wants.

Here are a few of my favorite new covers:

(Note: I did not realize, until I wrote the captions, that three of the books are put out by B&H Books. Kudos to B&H for creating intriguing covers.)

    My favorites of these four are Frantic and Gone to Ground. Striking covers.

    Those two are unique (& very creepy), aren't they Nicole?

    The added bonus with these four books is that I will read them all. They're more than a pretty face.

    Interesting that the first two covers have super-imposed images. It adds a hint of mystery, don't you think. All of them are dark and stark contrast to the majority of covers out there so that would make them stand out even more on the shelves of a bookstore, don't you think?

    Great analysis, Kav. A publishing company would do well to hire you on. :)
