Adrian Shaughnessy seems to have pretty much cornered the market in books about music-related graphic design. Cover Art By: is his fourth following on from the Sampler trilogy. These are sadly now out of print, but well worth tracking down by the way. I bought a copy in what used to be Zwemmers on the Charing Cross Road on impulse last week (thereby spending approximately £6 more than if I’d ordered it from Amazon). I’m still gathering my thoughts about it, but in the meantime here’s Mark Fisher aka k-punk’s review in Frieze a couple of months back.
