Simple and spare text-only book covers are the new black, people. The cover of Matt Bai's The Argument that we talked about the other day was one example, but I just quickly spotted three more while checking out the front tables of the Chelsea Barnes & Noble. It's a good clean look that puts the focus on the words, where it belongs.

Yep, I'm very into book covers. I'm cool clear down to my bones. Could I possibly be more of a dork? What if I were to, say, be so excited about going to see a documentary about a font tonight that I can hardly stand it?
