the pleasure of the text

Book cover designer - how amazing must this gig be?

One of my favorites:

The UK Vintage Classics cover. Couldn't you imagine falling in love with someone after seeing them reading this on the subway?


And an approximation:

René Magritte's La Château des Pyrenees, said to have graced the (original?) cover of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities.
