Book Covers of Note, March 2026 Hey. It's almost spring. Hang in there! I took a long-planned week off in March, so this month's post was somewhat cobbled together around that trip and somehow we've ended up with lots of great covers to show for it! I should take vacation more often! There's some particularly fun typography, some nice illustration, and some of the usual weirdness. Enjoy!

Here are some new and recent book covers that caught my eye this month!

Amazing! Congrats.

Tom’s cartoons are always fantastic; from the uproarious to the slow burn, they’re wise, erudite and wonderful. Dad would have loved this :)

Sending love to you both Andy. X
