Alternative covers for Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” book

Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue: An American Life
Anyway, what’s kind of neat to see are the alternative book covers that photographer John Keatley took of Sarah Palin. Harper Collins eventually went with the off-in-the-distance stare, but it’s nice to know that they could have chosen the straight-into-camera stare, or the boring plain background portrait, or even the let-me-tilt-my-body-into-an-awkward-state pose. Yes, see them all below.

To celebrate their 5th anniversary issue, The New York Times Magazine has posted their favorite cover artwork from the last 5 years. Each cover featured is magnificent and speaks volumes about the artists involved and the great eye of the editor at the magazine.
Penguin Classics illustrated by Ruben Toledo
August 4, 2009 @ 1:01 pm
Renown Cuban fashion illustrator, painter, sculptor, and filmmaker Ruben Toledo has teamed up with Penguin Books to put out 3 of literature’s greatest works in a brand-new illustrated cover series.
Ruben Toledo’s work, which have been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, The New Yorker, Interview, and The New York Times, will don the covers of Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte), Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen), and The Scarlet Letter (Nathaniel Hawthorne). These are truly remarkable and beautiful paperbacks which Penguin Books has graciously sent over to me for review.
Each book features a French flap and will go on sale for $16 each starting August 25, 2009 (just in time for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City)! If you pre-order on Amazon.com however, you can save a couple of dollars on each title as they are each selling on Amazon.com for $10.88.
- The Scarlet Letter: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
- Wuthering Heights: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
- Pride and Prejudice: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Engrave Your Book is back with leather covers
January 12, 2009 @ 7:11 pm
Last year, I posted about a laser-engraving technique developed by Joe Mansfield that etches artwork onto the covers of your Moleskine notebooks. It was a very cool idea then but unfortunately the folks at Engrave Your Book found that the process was less than rewarding to one’s health.
But now, Engrave Your Book is back online and ready to laser-etched more artwork for you, this time engraving artwork onto leather Moleskine covers instead (apparently not as terrible for your health as engraving straight onto PVC Moleskine covers). You can still create custom engravings for $60 or buy an artist series leather cover for $60 if you can’t decide on what to engrave.
