And sometimes when we are casting about for inspiration or simply need to catch our breath, we can be found skulking around the Covers blog or dallying in An Archive of Book Cover Designs and Designers or just slipping on over to see what's new on The Book Design review.
It seems we are inordinately fond of the less-is-more approach to book design, and we must confess that a little well-placed nostalgia can win us over too. You know what we mean, because really, who can look away from the very handsome Popular Penguins that have sprung up in every book store in the land.

I love the little orange penguins. I also love their silver modern classics except they are $$$, the orange ones are only little bit $. All my povo students are buying them. But the print is teeny tiny. Grumble.
'povo'
I like.
And I'm guessing it won't be in The Times spelling bee.

Oh - I like the minimalist book covers too.
I do love that the Penguin classics bring really good literature to the masses.
