I JUST DISCOVERED A GREAT SERIES OF BOOK COVERS AND OTHER IMAGES that you should know about. It is the blog
A Journey Round My Skull. The site is very good about the author and other information, but the illustrator or book designer is not always known or revealed.
Oh, and yes— I WILL buy a book... for it’s cover.
