Antonio Frasconi became well known for his woodcuts after moving to the U.S. in 1945 to study at the Art Student's League in New York City. Frasconi has done a variety of work over the course of his career in advertising, magazine illustrations, posters, record covers, Christmas cards and books - the latter of which I will be showing, specifically some of the children's books that Frasconi has illustrated.

First impressions do count. A good book cover design can make you pick up a book to explore it contents. To me, a book cover should capture some of the essence of the book and give you a taste of what's inside. Ever been lured by a great book cover only to find the inside of the book is disappointing? Not good.
Here are ten book covers that I think are very nice. Please let me know if you like this posting about book covers, I'm thinking about making it a weekly thing.
