Two books of essays published by Vintage. Their simple beauty speaks for itself. I love the way the cloud is framed in Art of Travel, with a man-made cloud-like ornament superimposed on the natural cloud. Designer names to come.

Hey, I wanted to run by you 2 covers i came across at Powells:
http://www.amazon.com/Wife-Gods-Novel-Kwei-Quartey/dp/1400067596
and
http://www.amazon.com/Sanctified-Chicken-Fried-Portable-Southwestern-Collection/dp/0292719418
cool covers, Ian. I wonder who designed them. I have to say, the second one reminds me of a Gregg Kulick.
first is by roberto de vique
I like the first, the photo has a wonderfully mysterious quality; the second, though pretty, seems generic.
I much prefer the uk covers you can see some here:
