Surreal Book Covers

Mark Yankus Wants You to Judge Books by Their Cover

I admit, I do judge a book by its cover (literally, hopefully not figuratively), and if I saw any of Marc Yankus’ photography on a cover, it would be an instant purchase. Stunningly surreal, I don’t doubt that his photography captures the novel’s essence beautifully as well as accurately.

In the industry for over three decades, Marc Yankus’ work has also been displayed in museums and libraries, not just on bookshelves. Check out the gallery for some of his book covers as well as other miscellaneous photographic works.
