Compelling characters. An engaging plot. An original story. A new idea. A clear purpose. And that magical something that taps into readers' emotions. But perhaps nothing is as important to selling a book than its cover. A good book cover can draw in a reader, provide vital information about the book's subject matter, and assure that the content in the book is high quality. We asked McKinsey Global Publishing designers to select their top book covers from more than 100 options featured in our 2022 summer reading guide. Here are their top 10. The Maid by Nita Prose This Will All Be Over Soon: A Memoir by Cecily Strong The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World by Andrea Wulf China Unbound: A New World Disorder by Joanna Chiu Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop by Danyel Smith It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him by Justin Tinsley Grief Is Love: Living with Loss by Marisa Renee Lee Citizens: Why the Key to Fixing Everything Is All of Us by Jon Alexander Brown Girls by Daphne Palasi Andreades Complete Tales & Poems of Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe See the full guide Follow our thinking Share these insights Did you enjoy this email? Forward it to colleagues and friends so they can subscribe too.
