I couldn't resist this wonderful Tom Gauld cartoon on book design.
Gauld, of course, knows what of he speaks: see my post on his book cover design here. As a taster, here's his Three Musketeers cover (click for bigger).
For D. H. Lawrence covers WITHOUT sexy ladies, see here, and WITH sexy ladies, see here, and WITHOUT a clue, see here.
This guy kicks ass. A breath of fresh air in a publishing world that wants people to know that classic literature is SERIOUS BUSINESS, MAN, and frequently uses the most boring and overly serious covers possible.
