Book Jackets
It’s incredibly difficult to believe that we are nearing the end of the year and the end of a decade.
As you prepare for the holidays, maybe you are busy thinking about New Year’s resolutions and goals. Maybe you’re thinking about that crazy uncle that will show up at dinner, and how to handle his political rant. Maybe you’re trying to figure out what to buy that special someone.
Though I’m not quite sure what you may be thinking about right now, I am certain of one thing: you’ve been non-stop waiting for this year’s annual book cover winners. You’ve been up late at night, wondering what would make the cut. Admit it, you also have been looking back at winners from the past, nostalgic about book art.
Wait no longer. It’s finally here! The 2019 winners are below.
Before we share the winners….
Do you ever buy a book because of its cover?
Do you ever just admire the book cover for its artistic qualities?
Regular readers of this website know that I make a list of the best book covers each year. And, it’s not only fun, did you know that book covers also offer valuable leadership and goal setting lessons? (Click here to read more.)
