Jacket

In my opinion, there's something about designing a book jacket for a hardback that is ultimately more satisfying than a paperback cover. I think it's the way you can open up the book and the design develops as the jacket wraps around the coverboard - the design doesn't stop at what you can see on the bookshelf.

Here's a recent one of mine. It's all about the deaths of kings and queens. Notice the cover illustration - interesting.
