Words Without Borders

Vintage Books, New York, New York, 2006

Description

This is a compilation of works by writers from all over the world. Using map elements came pretty quickly and is probably obvious. The thing that makes me happy about this cover is that the key has pretty much taken over the entire map.

Juror Notes

“An intriguing cover that resembles a map in The Economist. Almost bland but hard to ignore; its understated design beckons the reader.”
