by osmosis

I have to admit that I enjoy the physical quality of books almost as much as the text inside.  While it definitely has to do with being a collector, it also comes from loving design.  I'm always fascinated with cover design that perfectly represents the text inside.  To indulge this love, a site has been created called "The Book Cover Archive," which displays a history of great cover art.  Don't get too caught up in the cover art and forget to read the book!
