New Will Self covers
Will Self is a wonderful, trippy writer, and his books definitely deserved an overhaul. I'm always excited when an author's catalog gets this kind of unified treatment:
I like these, but can't help but note the similarity between these and what was recently done to Sarah Vowell's books:
Are the new Self books too close to Vowell's?

Yes, too close. And Vowell's are better.
Really reminds me of this guy's work

Funny, I though that the Self books were better. The Vowell book type is too high up, whereas the Self books allow for more of a complete compositon.
I guess I'm tired of the facile compositons where its text, then image. Therein lies a disconnect. I'd much rather a design that allows the text to be image, or part of compositon.
The Vowell looks pretty standard to me. The Self seems to carry more emotional weight.
Looks like Veer had a liquidation sale...
Anyway, I agree with ingrid.
Agree with you on unified treatment. Just shouts out to the collector in me :D
One of the examples I love is the series of covers Andrzej Klimowski did for Kazuo Ishiguro's novels, with the publication of "The Unconsoled".
Maybe not the type treatment, but: Charles S. Anderson in the 90s
