It’s more striking in person because the book itself is fairly large.

I’m a new visitor, and you’ve got some great covers here. I have to say, though, that I’m not too keen on this one. The photo itself is great, but the title treatment doesn’t do it for me, and the arc on “The Biography of a City” is just distracting…In my opinion…For what it’s worth.

So why the poker chips?
The design as a whole is great. Unexpected. The contrast of the yellow/green/red with the black and white photo really grabs the eye, but I am curious about the thought process on the typography of Paris. Perhaps those are not poker chips??
The typetreatment a the bottom, echoing the curve is solid. Smart.
Go fish…

Gorgeous. Photography is beautiful. It’s not quite black and white and yet it’s not sepia either. It’s got a bit of gold or olive in it. I love it.

Is anyone else bothered by the mismatch between the arc of the subtitle and that of the tower? Everything in me wants to pull up on the ‘City’ end. I keep trying to understand Lin’s justification of this mismatch, and keep coming up baffled. Though less obvious, the title letters lie on a slightly different angle from the angle of the photo immediately behind them.
Nathan, I think those are not poker chips. If memory serves me, I’ve seen this lettering in a book of classic Deco art fonts. Not sure what they’re meant to represent, if anything more than the abstract shapes.

Very pretty cover but I am really bothered by the arc on “The Biography of a City” that others have pointed out. I've had that same technical problem myself unfortunately.
Paris
Nice type, nice image, nice cover.

What a shot of the tower... it makes the cover.
