The second is a list of links to well-curated websites and print publications covering a number of album cover-related topics, including album art search engines, album cover design, album cover artists, etc.
A simple search on your favorite search engine will deliver those results to you quickly… Please note that there are a number of other books that focus on the works of a particular artist or studio, but I haven’t included those in the following list in order to keep its length reasonable. Many are written and compiled by well-known cover designers (Roger Dean, Richard Evans, Storm Thorgerson, Nick DeVille, Spencer Drate, others), so they bring an interesting spin to their respective compilations. With their authors’ various perspectives and experiences guiding their respective efforts, all are interesting in their own right and contain hundreds of images for you to enjoy. The first is a sample list of some books published on the subject. Over the years, there have been a number of books and articles written on the History of the Album Cover, covering the development of the art form from its humble beginnings as a simple sleeve with a title, to Alex Steinweiss and Jim Flora and their breakthrough works for Columbia and Decca Records in the 1930s/40s up to today’s most-recent efforts – and so, if you’re interested in learning more about the topic (or just in looking at the pictures), here are two lists that should help you quite a bit. Want to know more about album cover art and the artists WHO make it?
