This is the first history of book covers in the French language, featuring over 200 illustrations. This "visual history" explores the methods and purpose of the editorial, material, and graphic design of book covers published throughout Europe, in Anglo-Saxon countries, and in Asia and Eastern Europe. It examines how cover design is shaped by reading habits, national editorial traditions, and market strategies, making it an essential work for understanding the evolution of graphic design in the publishing world throughout the 20th century.
