Legendary words, legendary art.
Sylvia Plath, "The Bell Jar," 1978
The 1978 paperback edition of Sylvia Plath's tragic book, with its title crafted in gothic font, perhaps captures the tome's mood the best.
Joseph Heller, "Catch-22," 1961
Paul Bacon, an American book jacket designer and jazz musician, created this stunning cover for Joseph Heller's novel. He also designed covers for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Rosemary's Baby and Slaughterhouse-five.
James Frey, "A Million Little Pieces," 2003
Though Frey's "memoir" was later outed as fictional, the book's cover, featuring a hand adorned with sprinkles, remains one of the most recognizable of the 21st century.
Dr. Seuss, "The Cat In The Hat," 1957
The artist behind this one? Theodor Seuss Geisel.
