Book covers are the essential part of a book that grabs a reader's attention (other than the synopsis or the first 2 pages, depending on the type of reader you are). It is through the cover that many profound readers can tell whether or not the book itself will be a good read. If you're anything like me, the book cover will be your way of remembering the book based off of whether it was good or not. I'm not so good with remembering names of the books I've read. Over time the name and author slips my mind so remembering the cover is my way of remembering the book in itself.
It just so happens that one of my favorite books also has both of my favorite book covers. Many books retain more than one cover over time. Harper Lee's
To Kill A Mockingbird has multiple covers, but only so many stand out to me and make me want to read the book over again!
Both of these covers give the reader some insight as to what this story will entail. These two covers are my inspiration on how I want my book cover design for Homer's
The Iliad to look and feel to the audience :)
