Ok, I know we’re WELL into 2011, but it’s better late than never right? I mean gimme a break, this here graphic design blog was just started in July, o.k. Mr./Mrs. Fussypants?
Anyway, all in all, last year was actually a pretty average one for book cover design. I went through thousands of designs (quite literally) to find the gems. I can’t actually vouch for the quality of the writing, as the only book in this list I’ve actually read is To Kill a Mockingbird, and it wasn’t even this version (I’m not illiterate, just busy o.k.?). If you have read any of these, let us know in the comments. Good? Not so good? So bad you want to punch yourself in the face for reading it? So good you want to take it home and do disgusting things with it (you pervert)?
So without further ado, here are 20 of the best book cover designs of 2010.
So what do you think? Do you have a favorite? Are there any other books from 2010 that you think should be on this list? If I agree, I’ll add them to the list.

[...] The Best Book Cover Designs of 2010 [...]
I like your selection. Some of the designs are obvious (such as “The Girl Who Fell from the Sky,”) but done exceedingly well. The two shown I think are the most creative, but not the loveliest, are “Switch” and “Delivering Happiness.” I just laughed when I saw them.
Awesome designs, each design speaks about the work. I like Sarabeth’s Bakery and The Early Years cover design the most. The cover of the book is the first impression so its very important to work on the cover design.
Some good book cover choices here but I can’t image how long it took or how many books you went through to come up with you final covers. Thanks for sharing
