The best -- and sometimes the worst -- of book cover design

Heh. This is tame compared to the music video for Towa Tei's "Audio Sex" From the album Sweet Robots Against the Machine.http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C5144D8CE0AF51A4&search_query=towa+tei+audio
How about the UK edition? It's also iPod related...
Is it wrong that I saw ovaries before I saw faces?
hate the color-blocking near the spine, but the rest is kinda fun.
Took me a good two minutes to understand there are two faces about to kiss each other in the US cover...I saw first a caricature of a fat-bottomed, waist-like-wasp lady with huge nipples. Something which would have fit the title.And I really didn't react to the author's name (and I love his works!) Major kudos to the US designer!The British cover? Oh well... Looks to me like she is the Mistress.
I adore the US cover! It's probably my favorite of the year, so far.
Wow! nice art. it's abstract. I just forgot the name...
not a fan of the UK cover- it looks a little mass market for me, but I adore the US cover.
The type for the UK one looks a lot like the one used for some James Bond covers.US cover is very good except the side colors.
I like the top cover, it's simple and direct yet cute.Lazarus Lupinhttp://strangespanner.blogspot.com/art and review
