The editor of The Book Design Review has chosen the best book covers (in his view) of 2008. Many have a similar, muscular look: not necessarily attractive, but eye- and, most significantly, mind-catching. I voted for Milk, although there were others I was tempted by.
Award book covers

Thanks for the link Sandra. Milk would get my vote too, although The Terror Dream was a close second. (I liked all the Futuristic 30s style type).
Julia, I love the cover of “All the Sad Young Literary Men” as well. I was tempted to vote for it. “Soon I Will be Invincible” is so sweet. It’s sad that the designer is “unknown.” (How can that be?)
Hi – I’ve popped over from Judith James’ website. I followed your link and had to laugh at the cover for ‘All The Sad Young Literary Men’. But ‘Soon I Will Be Invincible’ is hard to resist for me.
