America will use anything or anyone if it can be used as propaganda for their dream. That flag on the moon,

Muhammad Ali who was a muslim, Truman Capote the homosexual, Hunter S. Thompson. Outsiders, used as promotion for the crap they once fought against.

right.. hrstuks your comment makes no sense. These are re-releases of non-fiction works. The images exactly reflects what content (again, non-fiction) is in the book.

Beautiful marriage of photography and typography. The cover designs speak boldly to the visual literacy of the viewer.

These are incredible. A strong layout and great photography. It is a good designer who knows when to stop.

Beautiful, so restrained. You would want to keep these books forever.

Beautiful photographs, however, the typography on the back covers leaves a lot to be desired.

Agree with most of the above comments (bar hrstuks)
The images are great.
This goes a long way to eliminate poor coverfit on books where often there are contrasting spines.
Very creative and attractive although it may be dificult to identify these books on a shelf.

A fine celebration of photography, unsure about the typography though


hrstuks - what weird illogical claptrap...

hey hrstuks (that's a horribly bad name by the way) - I don't know what country you come from but the flag belongs to us the people here in the U.S. and there is no better example of true Americans than the aforementioned Muslim, homosexual, and outsider. This is all irrelevant however because there isn't any propaganda on the covers of those heroes' covers. Get a clue.

The covers are brilliantly restrained, although I have to say I would never consider removing the sticker with the title from the cover. The barcodes? Those could (should) be on stickers, and the covers would be significantly improved with the absence of the barcodes.
