This Is Your Brain on Music

Designer names to come

The US version gets the academic treatment (ugh), while the UK book nails it, if by "nails it" one means "this is what my brain looks like when I listen to Daydream Nation and Loveless back-to-back." And that's a good place for your brain to be.

I like the top cover. I would pick that book up if walking past it in a shop. I can't say the same for the bottom cover with its tunnel of sheet music.

Wow - what a contrast! And no contest on which is the better design...

hmmmmm... I'm tired of floral patterns used in every design. Both covers make a totally different atmosphere for this book. First one makes it as if it's good to listen to music while the second one makes it look like it's totally negative. First is too sugary, second one is too bleak. What a choice!

Is the UK cover illustration done by Si Scott? Love it.

Shame you can't read the subtitle on the 1st cover - particularly as it is different to the US edition.

Both the change in cover and subtitle do suggest this is a different book when of course it isn't.

Wow, this would definitely satisfy my bag addiction. I mean my husband's bag addiction.

Forgive my previous post. My bleeping computer auto-filled and submitted that text from a previous blogger post. Doh.
