Book Cover of the Month: August


I love this book cover because it's about baking. Elements of baking such as the lady baker, the towel and the canning jar. Its heartwarming to view the glass jar and it is ingenious to use the words "a novel" on the jar.

The cover design was done by Kathleen Lynch, Principal at Black Kat Design. Lynch holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of  Connecticut School of Fine Arts and has worked as a cover designer for Random House and Art Director for Oxford University Press. Her designs have won acclaim from the Association of University Presses, the New York Book Show, AIGA and Print.

Her website shows additional books covers that she has designed. Many of these books are my favorites such as Jennifer Chiaverini's The World's Fair Quilt and The Museum of Lost Quilts. Lynch also designed book covers for Ellen Gilchrist, Sandra Brown, 
and Kristin Harmel. She makes all of these books enticing for the reader.
