Publisher Notes
From the psychedelia of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's to the quirky social commentary of Nirvana's Nevermind, some of the most memorable, groundbreaking images of the last five decades have graced the covers of rock albums. DK's 100 Best Album Covers presents the cream of the cover crop, chosen by legendary designer Storm Thorgerson (the creator of celebrated sleeves for Pink Floyd, among other artists) and presented in DK's brilliant lexigraphic style. No other album cover compilation comes close to 100 Best Album Covers in showing - and telling - the "stories behind the sleeves." The ideal gift for music lovers of all ages.

Industry Reviews
"While there's general-audience material, much of the information in the book probably will be of greatest interest to graphic designers."
