Unfortunately, the book itself is not notable, but we’re a fan of this movement (seemingly, an all-in wet dream by the designer and a gutsy marketing move, to boot) that one can imagine must have a dickens of a time making it through the cover-by-committee processes.

Really, I don’t know if this qualifies as a “trend” or just a random occurrence. The other time I’ve seen this (and, perhaps, the best occurrence to date) is on Ecco’s supper sexy by Zbigniew Herbert (also, a selection, by the way). If anyone else has examples of this—new or old—please do comment . . .
