A new website where they, well, talk about covers.
From the site...
Though mostly I try to work, play with my kids, walk outdoors, read Sebald and Anne Carson and Gogol, and generally not muddle up my life by worrying about the ways literature and capitalism intersect, there remains one thing I try not to delude myself about.
A book’s jacket matters.
How a book is dressed—how it’s wrapped, how it’s bound, how it’s covered and colored and presented—this can make the difference between finding the right reader or missing her. Never has this been proven to me more assuredly than when Martha Stewart told me her daughter originally picked up my first book, The Shell Collector, because of its jacket.
