Covers of Ahmed Mourad’s ‘Vertigo’



I realize they’re going out of fashion — or into a different sort of fashion, with e-books — but I like cover art. I love the new covers coming out on Arabic books in the recent years. And, of course, I love to compare covers of different language-versions.

I must admit that when i go buying books and don’t have a title in mind I am attracted for the 50% by the covers on the bookstores’ shelves, so long live the covers!

I am attracted to book covers, too. Apart from the content of the book, I think a book cover is also very important in terms of marketing books
