At Fixabook, we usually like to look beyond lovely design and unpick the points of communication on a cover.

But this one is just beautiful. It looks astonishing at actual size.

And, what’s more, it works really well as a thumbnail — the incredibly strong pattern more than compensates for the small typography to give it real shout and an instant identity on a web page.

We have just one complaint, which many of you will have predicted already… We KNOW it’s a novel. You don’t need to tell us.

Losing that totally unnecessary central insert would give the designers a bit more space to up the font size of the title a little, which would only increase the cover’s impact at a small scale.

But it’s a stunner.
