As Gall predicted, I was stoped in my tracks by a Helen Yentus cover the other day.
The simplicity of the design lends itself towards an ambiguous understanding of the clumps of dots as either groups of people, or the virus itself. Both of which make sense in the context of this book.
Would someone more knowledgeable than myself please let me know what kind of paper stock they’re using to get that extremely tactile effect? You know the kind.. super matte finish, almost sandpapery.

I believe the finish is called “rough matte” which gives that sort of sand papery feel. A lot of Vintage books have it these days.

There are also similar redesigns of Camus’ Exile and the Kingdom and The Stranger.

Saul Bass does book covers. :D
I love it.

This reminds me a bit of the Josef Albers album covers done for Command: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/alabaster/cover_art_artist_gallery_58_josef_albers

“Basic” only goes so far.

You know what this does? It makes me want to read this book.
It succeeds.

This minimalist design certainly gets me interested and there’s plenty of movement going on.

Again, love the B/W. Easy does it. You want to just brush the dots off—get them off of me!

hey, what happened to the dots?
what?— another computer virus?

The dots were sweet… whered they go. It was replaced by some hideous beast of a book cover.
