    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;You can&#8217;t judge a book by its cover&#8230;but some covers simply speak for themselves. The most influential book jacket designs from throughout the 20th century are on display, and the fascinating images track their evolution from throwaway utilitarian &#8220;dust jackets&#8221; into a powerful modern art form. Three hundred hardcover and paperback book jackets appear in full color, including many from rare first editions seldom seen outside a serious collector&#8217;s library. Accompanying analysis commemorates the contributions of top European and American artists like Victor Gollancz, Paul Rand, and Barnett Freedman; explains how cover art styles helped launch such publishing brands as Penguin and Bloomsbury; and explores the impact of today&#8217;s digitally designed covers. &lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a beautiful picture book of design. It shows how lettering and images go in and out of style in book covers. There are some famous ones like &quot;The Great Gatsby&quot; and the James Bond covers.  It's just pleasureful to enjoy beautiful design as art.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;You can&#8217;t judge a book by its cover&#8230;but some covers simply speak for themselves. The most influential book jacket designs from throughout the 20th century are on display, and the fascinating images track their evolution from throwaway utilitarian &#8220;dust jackets&#8221; into a powerful modern art form. Three hundred hardcover and paperback book jackets appear in full color, including many from rare first editions seldom seen outside a serious collector&#8217;s library. Accompanying analysis commemorates the contributions of top European and American artists like Victor Gollancz, Paul Rand, and Barnett Freedman; explains how cover art styles helped launch such publishing brands as Penguin and Bloomsbury; and explores the impact of today&#8217;s digitally designed covers. &lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;You can&#8217;t judge a book by its cover&#8230;but some covers simply speak for themselves. The most influential book jacket designs from throughout the 20th century are on display, and the fascinating images track their evolution from throwaway utilitarian &#8220;dust jackets&#8221; into a powerful modern art form. Three hundred hardcover and paperback book jackets appear in full color, including many from rare first editions seldom seen outside a serious collector&#8217;s library. Accompanying analysis commemorates the contributions of top European and American artists like Victor Gollancz, Paul Rand, and Barnett Freedman; explains how cover art styles helped launch such publishing brands as Penguin and Bloomsbury; and explores the impact of today&#8217;s digitally designed covers. &lt;/div&gt;]]>
