From Donna Cheng’s clever interpretation of Tell Me Lies to Karl James Mountford’s gorgeous imagining of A Stitch in Time, the 10 book covers in this gallery deliver some of June’s best designs. Browse our top picks, and enjoy celebrating the designers and illustrators we love.
If you want to view even more stunning book covers, you can check out our gallery of the best covers of 2017. We also recommend visiting both Spine Magazine’s and The Casual Optimist’s websites, as they introduced us to many of our favorite designs this month.
