Interestingly the box art produced by Criterion, looks far more like Book covers than film posters. Maybe thats a refection on their similar size.

This meme troubles me because many of the photos taken from Flickr are copyright protected, all rights reserved. This isn’t “fair use” and while it’s all in good fun, I don’t think it’s right to take and use other people’s work without asking, particularly when they’ve indicated they reserve their copyright to the images.
[Good points. It would be much better if the search could be constrained to items that creators have flagged with a CC license. --J.]

Thanks for the Book Cover Archive – I simply love book covers, more interesting than album covers these days. 12cm is not the same as 12″! And avoiding [size] inuendo’s completely is one of the covers rejected for the worst covers of the year, must be the cover least likely to be displayed prominently in a store. Ever [Amon Tobin's].
Oddly enough in the first 250 odd covers I looked at, I have just 3 of them [I have some of the other books but with different covers]and all 3 are in a row and are for books by different authors.

I miss album covers. CD covers just aren’t the same.
The work of Hipgnosis and others back in the 70s are why I got into photography to begin with.
