This idea has been done to death. Surely there was a more original solution for this cover. I do love her work though.

I don't disagree that we've seen things like this before. But the execution looks flawless...and it's another book-on-a-book cover! :-)
The book pictured is set in all italics.
I have many books that contain page-length (and more) passages set in italics.
It's a fine homage to John Gall. And a bunch of other people.
But a flawless execution of an old idea is still an old idea.
Can we call this trend dead now?

The comment about Helen Yentus in 2007 makes me wish I could search labels by designer.
I hope to be able to offer that soon...
go to her site... she's got amazing work!

It may be done- but as a reader without design background- this worked for me. I would pick up the book.
