What I like the best is that the hand lettered feeling subtitle and author's name are really hand lettered. All of the repeating letters (Ms, Ns, As) are different. It gives the cover an intimate feeling.
Reminds me of the lettering on the covers of Everything is Illuminated and the HC edition of Ben Kunkel's Indecision.
Lovely. It slightly reminded me of this design for a brazilian book:

Title translates to "Until The Day The Dog Died"
Here is the cover. Sorry about that.
It also reminds me of this cover:

Graphically it's fun to look at. Seems like I've seen this somewhere though...
Sometimes I think covers are done more for the sake of trying to be a graphic artist rather then doing something that really works for the piece and is a good, solid solution.
This strikes me as that type of cover.
But I do like it...
P.
Dogs are just fun to use on covers...
