I did. And I stumbled on this sumptuous Pinterest board from Non Fiction Books – a gallery of gorgeous covers, new and old. Most of the design accolades out there for book covers seem to be focused on fiction, so this is a refreshing and inspiring treat for a NoFi girl like me.

Here’s my current favourite – I’ve never heard of the author and I’ve not read the book, but the cover has me and it’s now on my Kindle. I love the clean geometry of it, the understated metaphor of the pristine eraser, the retro typography, and of course the clever, compelling title and promise of the subtitle. It works for me on every level.
Which is your favourite and why?
