The Book Design Review‘s Joseph Sullivan has posted some of his favorite book covers from 2007, and I thought the similarities between Rob Carmichael‘s jacket design for Unmarketable and Helen Yentus‘s for Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History were interesting, given earlier trends in the book cover world. Anybody seen any more like this?

UPDATE: Paula Guran of Juno Books brings up the rear, spotting a similar trend in urban fantasy covers.
