Book+Cover+Archive

The [|Book Cover Archive] is basically what it sounds like....eye candy for design enthusiasts, with a literary bent, or lots and lots of pictures of book covers. You can search them by author, genre, title, or designer. Most of the time, though, any given book only has one cover shown in the archive. I think it would be great to have a way to compare different covers for the same book. Even without this option, though, the archive is very visually appealing and could provoke interesting questions about design, the materiality of books, selection, etc.
