From Jaya Miceli’s colorful interpretation of The Incendiaries to Zak Tebbal’s striking take on Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, the 10 book covers in this gallery deliver some of July’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.
Rather than rank the covers, we listed them in an aesthetically pleasing order.
