The Academy of British Cover Design…

…have released their 2017 shortlist over here.
They say don’t judge a book by a cover but I sure as hell am judging a cover by a cover and there is some glorious work here…

It looks like hand crafted type is still going strong and there seems to be a whole vintage craft vibe going on with a lot of these. But I just love the early 80’s futurist stylings of the series designed by Richard Bravery & La Boca.
