This week’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) is: “Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc Typography“.
I thought I would struggle with this, but actually the only difficulty was narrowing the options down to ten. I think all of the books below have interesting typography – I hope you agree! My reviews are linked if you want to find out more about any of these titles.
1. Swamplandia! by Karen Russell
2. Florence & Giles by John Harding
3. When God was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman
4. Roseblood by Paul Doherty
5. Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? by Agatha Christie
6. Stormbird by Conn Iggulden
7. The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson
8. Secrecy by Rupert Thomson
9. Grace Williams Says It Loud by Emma Henderson
10. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter

Have you read any of these books? Which of these covers do you think has the best typography?

The Angela Carter and Agatha Christie make a good pairing. Some great choices.
Love these! Stormbird especially. I’ve always loved that cover 🙂
This makes me feel like unusual typography is a bit of a gamble – some of these look very amateur to me (e.g. the John Harding) while others are fantastic (the Karen Russell and James Robertson, both of which I’ve read and enjoyed!)
