Judging a Book by its Cover

At the end of the year everyone creates of lists of bests and worsts; some lists are more interesting than others. (Do we really need a list to tell us Britney Spears doesn't know how to dress?) Two lists that we librarians found interesting were Favorite Book Cover Designs and Worst Book Covers of 2006 . Being the opinionated bunch we are, we disagreed with their choices and came up with our own list of Most Appealing Book covers.

I Like You by Amy Sedaris












Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen










Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessi












A Good Dog by Jon Katz










How about you? Do you know of a 2006 book cover that you think was particularly outstanding?
