EVERYTHING NOW by Rosecrans Baldwin
EVERYTHING NOW by Rosecrans Baldwin was named one of the “15 Best Book Covers of 2021” by the AV Club. They write: "The fuzzy, black-and-white photographs, the sans serif font, the vaguely unintentional arrangement of it all—the cover of Rosecrans Baldwin’s collection of essays about L.A. screams zine, as though you’re about to have it shoved into your hand by someone standing outside Amoeba. It gives the sense of the book having arisen from the ground level of the city. You can almost feel the heat of the sun—or the copier machine." MCD published the book on June 15, 2021.

THE ONES WHO DON'T SAY THEY LOVE YOU by Maurice Carlos Ruffin was named one of the “15 Best Book Covers of 2021” by the AV Club. They write: "This is the only cover on the list that doesn’t rely on imagery. Sure, there’s that fleur-de-lis inside the ‘o’ in ‘LOVE’—a hint at the New Orleans setting for Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s short stories—but that’s it. Instead what is most notable is the cover’s attractive typeface and intriguing layout. With the overlapping of the letters in ‘ONES’ and ‘DON’T,’ what at first appears straightforward and even staid is very subtly transgressed." One World published the novel on August 17, 2021.
