One of my favorite covers of all time, and I'm lucky enough to have this first edition copy with its beautiful cover sitting on my shelf.
I know you’ve always been told to never judge a book by its cover, but some are just too beautiful, disturbing, or interesting to ignore, and after a few days of relatively non-stop reading, this afternoon I’ve decided to shift my focus from their text-filled pages to their oft warned about covers. Here are a few (out of many) websites and blogs devoted to the beauty we experience from books, before we even open them.
Excellent Book Covers and Paperbacks

I have to admit my guilt in this also. Your cover of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test reminded me of a copy of The Crying of Lot 49 that I own. I was able to find an image of it…
The Crying of Lot 49 is one of my absolute, all time favorite books. And what a cover!
Great book. I enjoy Wolfe’s witt and prose. My favorite Wolfe book is The Right Stuff. Great read!

The cover of the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test reminds me of ‘Yellow Submarine’ cartoon.
