How book covers are designed...

We are all familiar with the old saying: Never judge a book by its cover! But come on, we've all done it and you know it. Covers are an integral part to how we approach a book. Sometimes they can even draw you to a particular work in the first place. I've frequently wondered how some of these beautiful covers have come into being. Luckily for nerdy me (and for you if you ever wondered so yourself), the BBC recently showed a short report of what exactly happens, how many creative people are involved, etc. Take a look yourself and be enchanted: Cover to Cover. (And yes, I gotta get that Nathan Filer book now.)
