King, Queen, Knave, designed by Peter Mendelsund

Found an interesting collection of book covers.  Apparently publishers, every decade or two, will update book jackets to keep everything a bit fresh.  I've never heard of Nabokov, which I think I'll live with, but seeing how all of these designs were done solely by hand, makes me envious.  Fine artist first, graphic designer second is something I really need to start brining to my work, and seeing things like this are the inspiration for that.
