Sort of bookalikes... Perspective(s) is out this month in paperback.

Digital painting of a woman against an orange pattern background.

Painting of a woman wearing a crown, in a field of rye. A wolf stands besides her, mostly in shadow.

Fan poster for the movie Nosferatu, featuring Mina with glowing eyes against a forest backdrop.

A book cover for the novel "The Moss," showing a girl covered in flowers and moss with glowing white eyes.

Dear #portfolioday we meet again.
My name is Yorgos, I'm from Greece and I work mostly in the publishing industry making book covers. I'm available for work from September onwards.

Here's some of my work!

Great illustration filled with details of a NASA control room with a huge map of the earth featuring orbital lines for spacecraft that're orbiting currently. There are a lot of men (again, men only) with headsets and microphones looking at monitors and computer screens and lots of gadgets and buttons.

Another great control room spread from "This is Cape Canaveral" by M. Sasek.

Ooh hello @designreviewed.com book. Back the absolute heck out of this. vol.co/collections/...

Cover to a midcentury children's book, Space Alphabet. There's two kids with clear domed helmets on and sitting on a floating block with A, B and C on each side.

Today, in honor of the Artemis II liftoff, I'll share a book I scanned and posted about years ago and is still one of my favorites in my collection: Space Alphabet by Irene Zacks, illustrated by the talented Peter P. Plasencia (1964).

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller
March 29,1948

A couple reading in bed. She holds a thick novel he holds something much slimmer. Him "We must beware the tyranny of the long novel. Length is no barometer of literary merit." He continues"I have scoured the bookstore, looked past the fat spines and sought out perfection in the miniature!" He concludes "May not profundity dwell in the humble cottage As comfortably as in the sprawling castle?" Her, without looking up from her book, "100% agree. But you're aware that's a greetings card, right?"

The Enrigue covers are great aren't they? I especially love You Dreamed of Empires. And so unlike the US covers.

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!

We will start our next book when we reach profit point on Paper Trails (early 20th Japanese tourist maps)

The cover of Plastic by Scott Guild designed by Tyler Comrie. The title is rendered in 3D "plastic" letters.

It's not quite the same, but there's also the cover of Plastic by Scott Guild from a couple of years ago designed by Tyler Comrie...

The cover of Saba Sams novel Gunk. The title is rendered in 3D plastic-y type with candle flames on top. Design by Janet Hansen

The cover of Swell by Son Bo-Mi from Two Lines Press. The title is rendered in type made of black plastic bags.

Funnily enough, I was recently thinking about how shiny "3D" type might be a "thing"... I just saw the cover of Gunk designed by Janet Hansen, and then there's the cover of Swell from @twolinespress.com coming in June (I don't know who the designer is)

Book Covers of Note, February 2026 Hey. I hope you’re keeping safe and well, especially my friends and colleagues in snowy NYC. Thanks to everyone who helped with images and design credits this month — it’s been a …

It's fascinating to see the covers chosen by SPINE + LitHub in their round-ups. Sometimes there's significant overlap between our lists but this month we only chose a few of the same ones. I was surprised that Brawler by Lauren Groff designed by Jaya Miceli w/ art by Vladimir Dunjic was only in mine
