best of 2009 - book cover design Part III

(I skipped over part II because none of the covers featured there jumped out at me. You should go over and take a look though.)

Here are my favorites from the post at The Book Design Review.

This book is called: The Interrogative Mood: A Novel? Don't you just love it??

(design by Alison Forner)

Love the type treatment and illustration of this one:

And of course this one caught my eye with its Russian Constructivist type treatment. I love how the designer used the staircase for the angles and also the overhead framing of the image.
