Designer Penguins
I like books that are well-designed. And some of the most well-thought-out covers I've seen are classic covers published by Penguin Books. Their simple layout and design made their entire line cohesive and beautiful. A couple books have come out lately about them, the one I most want to read is Penguin by Design: A Cover Story 1935-2005 by Phil Baines. My library doesn't have it, so I can't read it at this point, but it looks great. Not only does it show examples of books, but it gives an overview of the history behind the design of their books. You can find a bunch of great examples at this flickr set by Joe Kral.
