My favorite book covers of 2007

Alright, here are my favorite book covers of all time. These all seem to just leap out off the shelf, look great even when they’re a small thumbnail on Amazon, and actually draws me in to want to read the book (though I have truthfully not read many of these). Here they are:

Wonderful colors! Everything is smooth and crisp, even the font. Extremely creative. And the author happens to live within 45 minutes of my house, in the Big City nearby.

This one looks like a movie poster! All the text works perfect and the house just comes straight out of the black. The colors on this one are great too. It surprised me how well this one was done, because Peretti isn’t famous for his covers: but after this one worked, I think his people caught on and he’s had some pretty explosive covers since.

The Eragon movie version of the book, in mass market format. This one has stunning colors, high-concept approach to the way it’s done. Of course, it looks like a movie poster because it IS a movie poster.

I’m still on the lookout for more.
