Book-cover designers have to choose from a wide range of techniques -- illustration, collage, typography, photography -- to find ways to make sure you take a closer look.

Gregg Kulick, David Pearson, and John Gall are experts at this. As some of the industry's most sought-after cover designers, their work can be seen on titles published by companies ranging from Penguin to Vintage, and for authors including Cormac McCarthy, John Le Carre, Jennifer Egan, and Haruki Murakami.
