Thank you for sharing! Paul Bonet is a master craftsman - adding his work to my wishlist (and, this might just be me, but the On the Calculation of Volume 1/2 covers sort of resemble his sunburst pattern??)
Oh for sure, many have borrowed from him. But his original leather covers are amazing. I also have a big love of 60-70's encyclopedias from other countries and their covers - the ones I have seen in Sweden and Denmark are so beautiful.
One downside of e books and audiobooks - no dust jacket to contemplate and read . Recently realized how much I miss that !
never thought about book cover designers until your great review!
Some of Jean Paul Sartre books have pretty fantastic covers...https://www.jhbooks.com/pages/books/194328/jean-paul-sartre/the-condemned-of-altona
I also love the book covers designed by Paul Bonet, if you are not familiar I think you would enjoy :) Love your substack!
