I'd thought in a totally unexamined way that there were currently a lot of book covers that are very focused on large, legible, typography, and that it probably had to do with how we look at a lot of tiny thumbnails of things on phones, but it's good to remember that this is not remotely a new design concept. (personally, I love a very type/lettering-forward cover!)
I love midcentury covers also, but then again, I'm partial to midcentury anything. My favourites: The golden apples, theories of mass communication, and Caribbean mystery.
ooooh these are really nice! thanks for sharing! I have a weakness for midcentury SFF covers, both pulpy and modernist, so the Explorers Into Infinity stood out to me.

Awesome covers! I love this collection...

What a delightful collection!
The Golden Apples cover is amazing. I would have guessed it was a later date. So good!
One of my favorites. Milton Glaser is a legend!
