The increasing awareness of the jacket's potential to serve as a marketing tool across various areas of the publishing world--from literary fiction to academic titles, and children's books--meant a proliferation of illustrative treatments. The book jackets reproduced here reflect the changing visual styles and motifs of the passing century, beginning with the Art Deco period and continuing through Modernism, the playful Thirties, the pre- and postwar Neo-Romantics, the new consumerism and realist subject matter of the Fifties, and the Pop Art of the Sixties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing talent from the US and UK, \u003cem\u003eCover Up: The Illustrated Book Jacket\u003c\/em\u003e explores the pictorial dust jacket through a selection of more than 300 key works and artists that influenced the course of book jacket design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Salisbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500519137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500519134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 8.70w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2018","brand":"Martin Salisbury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987328663807,"sku":"9780500519134","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4ee6d8a-8b09-45f0-8585-338b7dc4cf15.jpg?v=1683288333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-illustrated-dust-jacket-1920-1970-martin-salisbury-9780500519134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
