Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System
Design by Carol Hayes
Written by a former policy analyst for Food First, Stuffed and Starved "show(s) how a few powerful distributors control the health of the entire world." What could have been a serviceable, two-dimensional, poster-themed cover becomes much more when that poster is hung in a shop window. For a serious analysis of a controversial topic, this is just guerrilla-ish enough. Buy this book from Amazon.com

i love these type of covers and design process and approach.
Make a design, put it in a window, shoot it, and you have yourself a cover.
Great work.
One problem I have - the quote isn't reading.
re: the quote
it's probably more discernible in hand.
anywho, nice cover!
The quote reads quite well when you see the book in person, although it's stylistically jarring and distracts from the simple photographic cover. (It would, however, have been much more distracting if it hadn't been fit to it's current perspective against the window.)
The US cover is my favorite, but the other are worth a gander... http://www.stuffedandstarved.org/drupal/node/5
I think I'd have to see this in person to see whether it really works for me. As it is, I can't convince myself it's a book cover! I only see the sign in context of a photograph.
Interesting (but clearly my feeble mind can't process).
Designer is Carol Hayes
