The Art of Book Cover Design
John Wilson explores the art of book cover design with Suzanne Dean whose work has graced the jackets of Booker winners including Richard Flanagan, Julian Barnes and Ian McEwan.
John Wilson explores the art of book cover design and meets artist Suzanne Dean, who has been responsible for more Booker-winning covers than any other designer. Writers Ian McEwan, Tom McCarthy and Audrey Niffenegger discuss the art that represents their words and Telegraph books editor Gaby Wood provides a reader's perspective on what makes a book stand out in a bookshop. As more of us than ever read books on e-readers, is beautiful design the key to the survival of the physical book?
