Dynamic, puzzling, engaging. And nice use of spot varnish for the title. Much better shelf appeal than the light-blue hardcover. Keep being creative!

We love the dynamic, colorful new treatment of the paperback and thought it conveyed the multiple points of view that appear in Jennifer Egan's story. And although it's hard to tell on the flattened image above, the cover actually is a stepback -- the New York Times Best Book mention is on a second sheet, below the cover. We had so many great quotes for the book that we wanted to feature them in a unique way. Thanks for reading, though -- sounds like you're a fan! Hi Meg — thanks for your feedback on the cover!

I particularly hate the NYT Best Book black edge. This book deserved better. What a shame that the paperback cover of A Visit From the Goon Squad is so unattractive.
